The Peppermint Partner Programme gives us an ideal opportunity to understand the potential of modern technology while contributing to a new technology platform that will shape the future of legal services. The market is increasingly competitive for law firms and I want to ensure Gosschalks is ahead of the game when it comes to exploiting innovation.”
