The Diary was heartened to find that despite Clifford Chance’s (CC) recent cost-cutting drive, the firm remains fully committed to its high-tech staff training programme.

When asked why this was the case, the CC receptionist confirmed that Groves had not yet undergone ‘voicemail training’ and would not be allowed to have her own personal telephone greeting until this had been successfully completed.
