I've used the services of Banner Jones twice fairly recently and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend their services to others. Both times I used the services provided by Katie Ash and I could not have asked for a better service. Totally professional, explained things very clearly and always went the extra mile.

Katie is our "Wonder Woman"
Katie has supported our business for the last 9 years. Initially we had no in house HR so we relied upon her quite heavily to help draw up contracts and company handbooks and support us through different processes, gradually over the years we have developed our own HR practices but have maintained contact with Katie on an ad hoc basis for her expert advice, sometimes for the "big stuff" , or more often just for reassurance that we are doing the right thing. I would highly recommend Katie (& Team) for employment law advice, they are reassuring , thorough and expedient in all of their dealings with us. Katie understands our needs as a business, and how we work, so is able to tailor her advice to our business whilst providing clear legal advice.
We have teased that she is our "Wonder Woman", but we mean it. There are times in employment law where you can feel vulnerable or out of your depth, and she has definately come to the rescue!

Katie was excellent - highly recommend!
From the moment I had my initial conversation with Katie, I immediately felt at ease. Her combination of expertise, fairness, and determination assured me that I had a reliable advocate by my side. Katie handled every aspect with clarity and efficiency, alleviating a significant amount of stress. I wholeheartedly endorse Katie - thank you!

Redundancy settlement agreement
Katie recently advised on my redundancy settlement agreement. Katie was great to deal with - very approachable & friendly, quick turnaround time, explained all the legal jargon well, and most importantly I feel that the legal advice that I got was first class with Katie making several adjustments to my agreement to make sure that I was properly protected. Would recommend. Thank-you Katie!

Excellent support
I received excellent support, advice and guidance from Katie Ash at Banner Jones over a redundancy issue. Katie took time to thoroughly explain the issues I faced in a clear, concise and simple manner for which I was extremely grateful. Her advice and judgement helped me to make decisions in a timely manner which was a huge help in managing a very stressful situation.

Employment Law - Simply Amazing
This review is based on my personal experience with Banner Jones and specifically having Katie Ash, who is the Director and Head of Employment Law at their Chesterfield office, support me during a time with for which I had no prior experience. I found the service via another member of the Banner Jones group (in Sheffield), whom I've used for years for my conveyancing, who is equally excellent and thanks to them, got me in touch with Katie.
Katie was unbelievable, an expert in her field and took the stress and emotion out of it and even when I let that emotion surface, her ability to maintain calm and talk me through it, her professionalism, technique and 'real' empathy, alongside her unwavering natural skill was very impressive to watch play out. With little notice from me, the managed to find time somehow for the fire that I'd placed on her plate, and within a matter weeks, it was dealt with. The difference she made to me between the first phone call and the resolution, I can't even put into words, just fantastic.
I cannot thank her enough, her team and all those involved for what they've done for us. And I personally wouldn't hesitate to use them again for any of my own legal needs.

good service overall
I was recommended to Banner Jones by a friend who's used their conveyance service. I used their employment department service, which proved to be as good as their conveyance department, if not better. Transparent about the fee, straight forward, good advice, good communication through out the process.
