Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a specialist in employment law and have over 14 years of experience dealing with all aspects of employment law. Whether acting for companies or individuals, I draft clear, concise contracts and other documentation and provide practical advice on a wide range of employment law issues. I provide prompt responses and look to find effective solutions to any problem. I also advise on restrictive covenant breaches and agency worker regulation. I have a particular focus on advising in the education sector including sixth form colleges, further education colleges and independent schools. However, I have a wide client base in various sectors including manufacturing, transport and logistics and health and social care.

Attention to detail

I cannot speak highly enough of Claire. Her approach with care was detailed, informed and carefully executed. Claire provides sound advice, she is very commercially sensible, has a good eye for detail and is very bright - it's a good combination. Claire's professionalism and approachability have been exemplary.

Paris Smith have been my ‘go to’ employment law providers for 21 years. Over the years the practice has also helped me with my GDPR, property, commercial and domestic legal needs. I have used Paris Smith all these years because they are knowledgeable, friendly, pragmatic and cost effective. It doesn’t matter which member of the team you are dealing with you get a consistent approach. Joy Craddock Managing Director JCV Consulting Ltd
