Marie Walsh, Director Employment Solicitor and Mediator

I cannot praise Marie enough in terms of communication, efficiency, professionalism and working to a pretty tight deadline with ease. I would instruct Marie again and recommend to anybody in my network. Thank you for a really straightforwards and in a difficult situation a rather enjoyable set of interactions. Thank you very much.

I found Consilia Legal to be extremely helpful, professional and efficient. Marie and Isabel were so helpful in settling a work issue and got it done within a short space of time. After reaching out I was contacted quickly and they got to work very promptly. They gave me sound legal advice which resulted in a good outcome for my dispute. They were both very friendly and I would definitely come back to use their services in the future should I ever need to. Thank you both!!

When my autistic son was suspended from work, we felt he had been treated unfairly in the workplace because of his disability and needed help and advice from a specialist employment lawyer. Consilia Legal were highly recommended to me. I dealt with both Marie and Vicky and I can honestly say they were both amazing. They were both very professional and caring. Initially, I was worried that I would find speaking to a solicitor confusing and complicated but they simplified things so I was able to gain a better understanding of employment law. Vicky then delt with my son’s case and I felt we built a very good relationship. She was so easy to talk to and I found her very approachable, which made me feel very comfortable. Because of my son’s disability, our aim was to seek a quick and satisfactory resolution rather than a lengthy, damaging conflict. Vicky was always there to advise me on the best course of action to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible and to help us achieve a positive outcome (which we did). Thank you Vicky for all your help.
