Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Since qualifying as a solicitor in 1999 I have worked exclusively in the area of employment law and I am a member of the Employment Lawyers’ Association. I have frequently been commended by my clients for being clear, concise, practical and solution focused whilst at the same time being empathetic and supportive. Although I have expertise in all areas of employment law, whether that be in relation to contentious matters or simply advising or drafting, I have a real passion for dispute resolution and my background in psychology, which I studied at university before converting to law, helps me in this area. I advise regularly on settlement agreements and am commended for being able to provide comprehensive advice on these even when fast turnaround is required. I am a tough negotiator and (I am told) a fearsome litigator. However, whether I am representing individuals or companies in litigation or just providing advice or reviewing/drafting a contract or handbook, I will always have my client’s desired outcome at the forefront of my mind. Client care and excellent service are my top priorities. In my opinion, every client should feel like my only client and, so far, I believe I have achieved this objective.

    Professional, responsive service

    Belinda was recommended to me to help us with a difficult employee situation and she ensured we got the right outcome quickly. She was professional, responsive, strategic and had exceptional knowledge of law, rebutting claims with ease. I'd thoroughly recommend Belinda to anyone.

    Peace of mind

    I got in contact with Belinda after my organisation had come to me with a settlement offer following a grievance I had raised about my managers conduct. I wasn’t sure if the offer was good or if it was even a suitable option. Belinda gave me peace of mind by laying out clearly what my options were, and further to that also unpacked my grievance and showed me that I had a larger claim than they had offered. Belinda then worked on my behalf to negotiate an offer double to what they had originally put forward. I can’t thank her enough.

    Exceptional Support and Strategic Guidance During a Challenging Transition

    I had a very positive experience working with Belinda during what was a difficult and uncertain period. Despite my employer repeatedly changing their position on outcomes and agreed terms, Belinda remained focused, pragmatic, and strategically clear throughout. She dealt with matters directly and efficiently, ensuring negotiations stayed on track and unnecessary costs were avoided. Importantly, her approach significantly reduced my personal financial exposure and shifted a proportion of the settlement cost appropriately back to my employer. Her communication was calm, measured, and reassuring, and her advice helped me remain confident and positive at a time that could easily have felt overwhelming. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
