Jen Smith

Taking the first steps in recognising your need for legal representation and navigating the process can feel stressful and overwhelming. From day one, I felt Jen was there for me with a friendly, straightforward approach that immediately put me at ease. As a mum herself, I felt she genuinely understood and empathised with my situation. She took the time to listen, offered clear advice, and worked closely with me throughout the process. Jen was very approachable and responsive throughout my experience. Thanks to her expertise, we achieved the outcome I was hoping for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Amazing outcome and so supportive!

Jennifer was the ultimate professional and gave me the confidence to stand up for myself and challenge my employer who had treated me unfairly following my maternity leave. Jen supported me emotionally and guided me through the process. She went above and beyond and I cannot reccomend her enough!! Thank you.

Complex HR Issue

Jennifer made quick work of understanding a complex HR issue and was able to extract the key information and then advise on the best course of action we, the business owners, should take. All possible outcomes were fully explained and Jennifer’s knowledge and expertise was very reassuring. We would not hesitate to use Forbes again for any business or personal issues and we highly recommend both Jennifer and Forbes.

Employment advice

I recently engaged Jen to assist with the termination of a member of staff who was within a probationary period under what could have been difficult circumstances and with her assistance we were able to conclude the termination without any drama. Jen was responsive and clear with the advice provided even getting back to me during her day off to celebrate her birthday
