“I now view Jacqueline as an extended member of my team. She understands and grasps the subject matter intuitively and, as we worked so closely together, she is a trusted advisor and is able to support us ongoing with ease due to her thorough understanding of our situation… She always brought her ‘A’ game, even when she was ill!”  Legal 500, 2025
