„I can’t speak highly enough of Penny. She was consistently helpful and engaged throughout my time working with her. She was incredibly responsive from the outset, taking the time to fully understand what I wanted and helping me understand what I needed too. She was very diligent from the get-go and made a point of making sure I had all of the information I needed before any and all interviews. Penny was incredibly supportive throughout and always went above and beyond to help me prepare, including whilst she was on leave. I have since found my dream role as a result of her help. I would recommend her to anyone looking to make a move in the derivatives legal space.“
