The GRL Legal Team
GRL works in partnership with many of the UK’s leading barristers’ chambers, law firms and their key individuals.
Through the experiences of our consultants who are lawyers, senior business leaders, managers, change management and business development specialists, we offer advice and solutions on recruitment, professional development, business development and consultancy projects.
The GRL team can be instructed as stand alone individuals or combined to function as a team; of course we would be delighted to discuss the most appropriate use of these resources.
