Things people have said about us:
“I have just heard that my application for Silk has been successful. I wanted to let you know because I found your guidance, advice and support throughout the process absolutely invaluable. I am immensely grateful to you both for your sound judgement.”
“I am not allowed to tell you about the content of my interview; but I think that I am allowed to tell you that the preparatory session that you gave me proved to be very appropriate. I would need a lot more practice to be good at the techniques; but I hope that, thanks to your help, I will not get any more practice! I am grateful to you both.”
“Thank you so, so much for all your help. I have been telling everyone (i) not to leave it to the last moment to write the form and (ii) to at the very least get some interview training. I hope that you will be very busy next year with my friends! Your help was invaluable.”
“I have had so many lovely letters and e-mails that I have failed to thank you when I should have done so already. What you provided was professionalism, cool analysis and excellent confidence building. May I thank you most sincerely and encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. As you know barristers are a funny bunch, at once confident in their own abilities yet lacking in so many other ways. Your service is like a well prepared set of instructions: no spare copies, no messy presentation, no misguided flannel, just the core documents and focus in the issues.”
“I have heard of a number of people who were seen as certainties who have not succeeded and I am sure that in many cases it will have been because they did not have the kind of guidance you gave me on the application form, interview, choice of referees etc. etc. etc. So thanks again for all your help and support; although we will never know for sure I think it may well have been critical to the outcome.”
“I found my mock interview with you both very informative and exceptionally useful.”
“Thanks very much for Friday; it was great help and comfort - particularly to have a structure to work to in answering the questions.”
“Thanks again - the session we had last week was truly invaluable.”
“Thanks for an excellent session last week. I attach a redraft of my form and would welcome any comments.”
“Thank you for your help yesterday. I found our meeting very constructive and helpful in directing my mind to the interview.”
“Thanks for your help. I think the interview went well, but in any case, I felt well prepared and able to give it my best shot.”
“Because of your warm-up I was extremely relaxed and ready for action.”
“I much appreciate your input and I have spoken highly of you to others. Even more so since I have not yet received an invoice!”
“It was a very good session we had last week - I feel much more confident as a result. I shall spend the weekend polishing my examples”
“Thank you. I’ve been preparing all day and am feeling very positive about it all.”
“Just a note to thank you both for the guidance and help which you gave me this afternoon – and for being so generous with your time. I appreciated it all very much and, with further preparation tomorrow, I hope to put your training to good effect on Thursday.”
