‘In a meeting’
‘Quite challenging’
‘One or two issues’
‘I welcome any advice’
‘Of course we agreed compound interest’
‘I look forward to hearing from you’
The promotion to ‘legal director’
‘Apologies for the urgency’
‘I am on speaker phone’
‘Where would the firm be without her?’
Retirement best wishes
‘Thanks for the helpful comments’
‘The life and soul of the Christmas party’
‘A commercial solution’
