SO efficient and knowledgeable!

5

I recently had the good fortune to deal with the very excellent Michael Scutt who was recommended to me by another solicitor firm.
I required detailed employment advice on a very delicate matter, that needed to be concluded in a VERY short period of time.
Michael was simply outstanding and not just because of his advice, but because of his constant communication. He always responded to emails and my numerous telephone calls promptly - something that is extremely important to me.
I will recommend Michael to anyone seeking legal guidance on employment matters…
Thank you Michael.

Efficient and clear

I engaged Michael go help me navigate a complex contract, and he did so efficiently and clearly, making the unfamiliar language used in the contract nice and clear. He was additionally helpful in pointing out where a clause was standard procedure and when it wasn’t

Excellent and timely advice

Crane & Staples was recommended to me by a colleague, who was also being made redundant. From very first contact with them the process was efficient and timely and the whole process was wrapped up in less than a week, the only delay being caused by my ex-employers HR team availability.

Michael did not just simply read the document & asked me to sign, he read it, went back & challenged achieving a better settlement agreement.
