A trainee solicitor has been awarded £36,000 after she was fired for raising concerns about her lack of supervision and the poor service clients were receiving from her. The case serves as a stark warning about the importance of proper supervision in law firms.

Appointing expert consultants can help firms navigate the challenges of supervision where appropriate.
