- Staff Handbooks, procedures and practices that de-risk the business and allow you to concentrate on growing, running the business, whilst confident that the business is compliant.
- Settlement agreements that ensure the best exit package for senior executives and look to minimise risk and a best pragmatic solution for business owners.
- Robust and effective defence of Employment Tribunal claims.

Mindful lawyers
Richard, Meghan and Ann were attentive and person cantered in their approach, I never really felt like a job, or source of income, my wellbeing was always front and centre when negotiating options and looking at my case and situation. I felt they really listened and helped me make the best decisions, without compromising my desired outcome.
They were professional, very well versed in the relevant area and efficient in getting to resolution in a timely fashion. They represented me well when a little extra push was required, without putting me through the emotional labour of retelling my story.
I felt they had my back, I felt safe and from the first call till the end and there was trust. There were no surprises and they managed my expectations at every step.
I'd recommend them every time without hesitation.

Ann was my main point of contact with some help from Richard.
She was extremely proactive with communication and outlined everything to me from start to finish very clearly. I had no questions by the end of my legal process and felt I had come out of my situation in best possible way. Will undoubtedly be in touch with them if I ever need legal services again.

Knowledgeable, Considerate and approachable.
I engaged Ann to help me with a council property matter that was proving too difficult for me to manage by myself. Ann provided great counsel and value add to my situation, from engaging an appropriate barrister for further reference on the matter, to discussing an approach to deal with the situation, to generally chatting options through and providing eloquent but key responses where needed, all with minimal fuss. Ann was very easy to work with, transparent to costing, and I would highly recommend.

Thorough and professional
Ann was recommended to us to help with a Council dispute. She dealt with a non-responsive organisation and laid plans for a Court Case which thankfully didn't eventuate, pulling in expert advice when needed. Everything was sorted at the 11th hour due to her drive and persistence. With any luck it will never be necessary, but we would have no hesitation in consulting her again.
