The opportunity of living and working in London,  in my opinion, is one not to be missed especially if you have experience as a lawyer, paralegal or legal secretary.  Having made the move from Australia to the UK myself, I can honestly say I reflect on those memories as some of the happiest in my life and know wholeheartedly that it’s my experie...
