Law firm launches new platinum service
Gwent based law firm, Watkins and Gunn, has launched an innovative new legal service, built around their premium clients and their individual needs. While Watkins and Gunn already has a strong
reputation for the excellent levels of customer service they provide, their new Platinum offering gives the same high quality service with an increased flexibility to meet the needs of their clients’ hectic lifestyles. One of the benefits of the new bespoke
package is that Platinum clients will have their own designated specialist lawyer who can be contacted outside traditional office hours and they can meet their solicitor at their preferred location, be it at their office or in the comfort of their own home.
Clive Thomas, Managing Partner at Watkins
and Gunn, said: “At Watkins and Gunn we constantly challenge ourselves to exceed our clients’ expectations by offering an unrivalled service and Platinum is the latest example of this. “We decided to launch our Platinum product
in acknowledgement of our premium clients’ hectic schedules and their need for an entirely flexible, bespoke legal service. “Watkins and Gunn Platinum allows
clients round the clock access to one of our accomplished lawyers, enabling them to engage legal services on their own terms. “We truly believe that our new service sets
us apart from other legal firms and rewards our loyal clients.”
