Loss of Employment

The shock of being made redundant was lightened by the help and support received by Sarah at Hay & Kilner. Calmed the situation and gave good advice, helping me reach an acceptable settlement agreement

Good Quality Service

I am Managing Director of a growing company and we have been very keen to tighten up our contracting arrangements to give piece of mind that we are operating compliantly in our business. Sarah was recommended to us to assist with these services. She is clearly very knowledgeable in her field and has provided us with a professional and consultative service to arrive at a product which matches our requirements. A good customer experience.

Good advice

Going through a tribunal is never easy but as a small company of 6 people the process is daunting and time consuming. What you need is good advice and 'careful hands'! We got this with H&K resulting in a successful result.
