An Overview:
We
believe our breadth of experience gained (Roger Sinclair has been 'in the law'
since 1973, and has specialised in this field since 1994), coupled with a deep
understanding of the real world issues faced by those working in IT, places us
in an unrivalled position to offer the best and most relevant legal service to
our Clients.
We
are dedicated to offering a wholly personal and expert service, delivered
promptly and efficiently, and to doing our best to offer value for money.

Computer Contractors, from early 1996 until the magazine’s closure in late

articles he has written, containing a wealth of advice on a variety of issues
affecting IT contractors.
