Employment

Helpful and professional

I had to get my employment settlement agreement checked and the team were great, explained everything and advised me very well. They helped me re-negotiate and gave me the confidence to fight my corner. I highly recommend.

Employment

support during redundancy

Sophia provided swift, expert and consistent advice regarding the settlement agreement related to voluntary redundancy. She always responded quickly to any query and knew the law and up-to-date details which the employer had missed. I felt she had my back at every step in an unfamiliar situation.
