Thanks to Patrick who helped me through my unplanned sudden redundancy. He was calm and precise and dealt with all communication with my ex employees to get me the best deal, when I was not able to do this myself. Thanks Patrick!

Patrick is definitely recommended. He explained everything really clearly, provided great insight to help me understand everything and made me feel very confident in him. Once we had our initial consultation he resolved my matter quickly. Excellent from start to finish.

Highly recommended. Patrick Macken took over my disability discrimination case with only around three weeks before our Employment Tribunal- Final Hearing. Given the complexity of the matter, I was initially concerned that there simply wouldn’t be enough time for him to fully understand the case and all of the issues involved. It was a very complex and hard-fought case, with a huge amount of evidence to work through. The respondents side had been represented by a very experienced barrister from the early stages of proceedings, including the preliminary hearing, judicial mediation and also represented at the final hearing. We had been living and breathing the case for over two years, so we knew just how much there was to take in. We initially had email communications, and we first met Patrick properly on the morning of 10 August 2026 - the day of the final hearing Despite having an enormous amount of material and countless potential questions available to him, Patrick identified the important issues and chose the right lines of cross-examination. He delivered his questions confidently, clearly and professionally, and exposed a number of important points that needed to be challenged. His final submission was equally impressive. He presented our case with confidence and clarity, referred to the relevant legal principles and applicable case law, and brought together the key issues in a way that was compelling and easy to follow. Most importantly, both my wife and I felt completely at ease with Patrick. He gave us confidence at a time when we really needed it. My husband even told Patrick during the hearing that his cross-examination was every bit as good as we would have expected from a barrister, and we genuinely meant it. We could not have asked for better representation at such an important stage of the case - all things considered. Thank you, Patrick, for your professionalism, preparation, confidence and, most importantly, for fighting our corner. We won! And we will always be grateful that Patrick and Jayne and all of the staff at Richard Nelson LLP Solicitors who helped us achieve it. Kim & Gary Foster

I can’t thank Patrick enough for all of his help and support throughout my employment matter. From our first conversation he was easy to talk to, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable; I instantly felt comfortable discussing the situation with him. Throughout the matter, Patrick’s communication has been excellent. He has taken the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understand my legal position and the options available to me. As someone with no prior legal knowledge, this has been really appreciated and has given me the confidence to make informed decisions. He has always responded promptly, kept me updated, and never made me feel like I was asking a silly question. I was made to feel comfortable when asking for clarification, and he has been patient and happy to explain things. Overall, Patrick has gone above and beyond providing support through a very stressful situation, and I have always felt that he genuinely wanted to achieve the best possible outcome for me. His professionalism and expertise have made a difficult experience much easier to navigate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patrick to anyone needing employment law advice, and if I ever needed legal assistance again in the future, he would be the first person I contacted.
