Karen was able to help me a lot

Karen Bussell was a real help to me. It was a tough time being made redundant, but in the situation, Karen was able to help me a lot with the agreement.

Quick pertinent advice

5

I approached Karen Bussell to deal with a challenging employment law issue. I outlined the situation to her and received quick, pertinent and valuable written advice from her within a very short timescale, as time was of the essence. I was also able to contact her out of hours which was particularly helpful. I was very appreciative of the helpful and pragmatic advice she offered and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone experiencing employment law difficulties.

I cannot rate Karen and the team at Nash & Co highly enough for their services

This was a particularly difficult employment experience, I cannot rate Karen and the team at Nash & Co highly enough for their services. I felt well supported, as they helped to navigate and guide me through the process and explained my options throughout the process. First rate and deserve 10 stars!

Needed advice on an employment dispute and was given Karen Bussell’s name. From first visit I was made to feel comfortable and given support.
Unfortunately the work situation became worse and it took a toll on my health - so Karen took over all of my side of the case. Her knowledge, way with words and support is something I can never thank her enough for. It went on for over 2 years - without that support I would have completely gone to pieces.
All of the team at Nash & Co have been so friendly and helpful to deal with .. I really can’t thank all of them enough.

Gill, thank you so much for such a kind and genuine review. We're so sorry to hear how things went for you initially, but we agree, Karen's brilliant, and we're over the moon that she was able to help you and get you to a good place. Karen and the rest of the Employment team here are incredible understanding, and they'll be delighted to hear your feedback. They pride themselves, not only on the work that they do, but on how they make their clients feel. It's vital that you are supported throughout. Thank you again Gill. We're sorry that we had to meet you in such bad circumstances, but we're really pleased that you're now in a much much better place. Have a great weekend!

Worked with Karen, on an employment requirement. Karen provided an excellent service and good advice. I would recommend Nash and Co and will use them for any future requirements.

Thank you so much for the 5* review and recommendation, Ian. We really appreciate it. Karen will be over the moon to hear your comments and feedback. People go to a lawyer when they need legal help from an expert. That's almost a given. But the client service is something that hopefully differentiates us from a lot of the other firms. So your comments really do make us very happy indeed. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us the review and recommendation. All the very best.

I would highly recommend the services of Karen Bussell and her team at Nash & Co. Communication was excellent and I always received prompt responses to emails and calls. I personally appreciated Karen's friendly, but very professional approach, which put me at ease. I struggled with much of the legal jargon relating to my matter but Karen was always able to clearly explain this to me and advise me as appropriate. Thank you Karen.

Karen Bussell is great. I needed advice regarding a Settlement Agreement with my employer. Karen identified numerous mistakes in that agreement and got them sorted.
If you need legal advice regarding employment: Karen Bussell 'does the job'. :)
