“I can honestly say that Amanda Brown is the best employment lawyer my HR colleagues and I have ever worked with. The Royal Veterinary College is a complicated organisation, and the range of issues we have consulted Amanda on has been very varied. The breadth of her legal knowledge has been match only by the care she has taken to understand our institution and to engage constructively with us in developing solutions that best suits our needs. I cannot recommend her highly enough” Ian Darker - Director of HR, The Royal Veterinary College
