Helen Starkie set up her own practice in Bath in 2010, having spent many years in a leading role in a Top One Hundred law firm.
Whilst valuing her experience there, in latter years she also became frustrated by the increasing amount of time it became necessary to spend on 'in house' matters and the value larger firms now place on 'commercial' rather than personal service.
