Emily came recommended by a friend who had a similar work issue. She was super quick to get to work and very empathetic to my situation. Having Emily's expertise behind me gave me the confidence to pursue the issue fully, resulting in achieving my goal and a better-than-expected outcome. I'll forever be grateful to Emily and her team. Highly recommended.

Hi, Thank you for your positive review and your recommendation. It is great to hear that Emily and Ayshea provided you with a pro-active and positive experience. We look forward to working with you in the future. Best wishes. Couchman Hanson.

Emily and the team at Couchman were very efficient at a difficult personal time negotiating my severance contract. Emily has a deep knowledge of Employment Law and readily put me at ease going through the whole process and was able to explain to me in terms that I could understand what I was signing up for. This gave me significant re-assurance that I was in the right hands !

Hi, Thank you for your positive review and your recommendation. It is great to hear that Emily provided you with a pro-active and positive experience. We look forward to working with you in the future. Best wishes. Couchman Hanson.

From my very first enquiry, the entire team was incredibly efficient, responsive and professional. Employment matters are never easy to navigate, particularly during redundancy, but they made what could have been a very stressful process feel straightforward and well supported. A special thank you to David, Ayshea and Emily, who were all friendly, approachable and genuinely supportive throughout. Communication was always prompt, they explained everything clearly, and I felt confident that my best interests were being looked after at every stage. Their advice was practical, balanced and gave me the confidence to negotiate a much better outcome than I would have achieved on my own. If you're looking for employment solicitors who are knowledgeable, efficient, quick to respond and genuinely care about their clients, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Couchman Hanson.

I met Emily at an extremely difficult and stressful time, and from the outset she was thoughtful, calm, and highly attuned to both the legal and human aspects of my situation. Emily was consistently mindful of my mental wellbeing and offered reassurance and grounded advice, including encouraging me to take time away to focus on my health and to slow the pace when needed. At the time, I didn’t fully heed that advice, but later did, and in hindsight, I should have listened sooner. That experience taught me to trust Emily’s guidance, which clearly comes from deep experience and judgment built over her 17 years practising employment law. Throughout the process, Emily acted as both a steady sounding board and a decisive legal lead. She guided me through complex decision-making with clarity, facts, and a strong legal framework, ensuring emotions never drove strategy. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to remain completely unflustered and professional, even when baited or faced with difficult opposing conduct. That composure is a real asset in high-pressure employment disputes. And resulted in concluded the grievance with favourable terms. You truly pay for the quality of service you receive, and I am very pleased I chose Emily. I had complete confidence in her abilities, experience, and judgment throughout, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing expert, steady, and highly competent employment law support.

Recently I had to seek legal advice for the first time, but I had no idea who to ask. Couchman Hanson Solicitors were local to me so I tried them, safe to say that was a good choice. They instantly took a great weight off my shoulders. They then dealt with the job very quickly giving constant updates and support. If I ever need legal advice or help again, I will be calling these guys. I highly recommend them.
