Expert advice and support for redundancy settlement

5

I would like to share my experience with Barrett & Co Solicitors with regards to my redundancy settlement agreement advice. Justin Sadler was extremely helpful with expert advice and recommendations after reviewing my redundancy settlement agreement. The appointment was organised very efficiently and due to the urgency of this matter, Justin was available the next day after my initial inquiry. The advice I received helped me to renegotiate certain clauses in the agreement which otherwise would have been overlooked and detrimental towards my situation. I want to thank Justin for his sensitivity, due diligence and clear advice regarding my settlement agreement. Thank you.

Thank you for your review. I am really pleased that I could help you with the agreement and make sure that it was the best that it could be for you. It's always good to come up with practical solutions and communicate them clearly and I personally try and make myself available whenever there is an urgent case, as I know how daunting some things can be with regards to Settlement Agreements. Should you ever need employment law advice again, (which I hope you don't!) then please do get in touch. And if there are other people you know who need me, please ask them to mention your name when they call so I can take care of them personally. Thank you.

Recovery of long outstanding bad debt and contract dispute

5

Justin took the time to understand the detail of what was a simple principle but complicated by detail and refusal of the other party to engage. Thanks to the focus, pragmatism and understanding of case and precedent a fair outcome was finally achieved, this after years of large the company in breech just stonewalling our smaller one - thanks Justin & team could not have done it without you.

Responsive, Professional and Reassuring

5

I was put "at risk of redundancy" in December 2022 and quickly needed professional advice regarding a Settlement Agreement. Stress levels were high, time was short, but I knew of Barrett & Co through successful passed dealings, so I immediately turned to them here. I engaged with Justin Sadler, Partner, and he provided rational, expert advice on my options and the draft Settlement Agreement that I shared with him. This was a new situation for me, but Justin was reassuring and responsive throughout, and he helped navigate final discussions to a conclusion. I was very grateful for Justin's support.

Thank you for taking the time to review the employment law service provided. It is always a worrying time when settlement agreements have to be dealt with and negotiated. However, the process can be less stressful when an experienced employment solicitor is on hand. I am really happy to have been able to help. Justin Sadler.

Don’t Go to Court.

5

In my dealings with Justin, that has been his advice: Don’t go to court. And thankfully I never have. His words of wisdom, expertise and unerring good humour have in the main made me see sense and try and find a resolution with the parties I and my company have had a grievance with. Working with him to achieve a more than satisfactory result has always won the day and should I, heaven forbid, ever again find myself in a legal tussle, I shall have no hesitation in calling on his services and the support network of Barrett and Co.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It is a pleasure to have been able to help you and especially to avoid the cost and time required to take things to court. Sometimes going to the Courts is necessary, thankfully, it can be avoided most of the time through good professional legal work. I am really grateful for your recommendation and would always be happy to serve anyone that you recommend me to, with the same professionalism and ability. Kind regards, Justin Sadler.

Final Settlement

5

It is very daunting and stressful to be informed that you are being made redundant by your employer that you have worked for over 30 years.
Justin Sadler of Barrett & Co. Solicitors was really helpful and answered all of my questions regarding my final settlement. He also guided me through the whole process which put my mind at ease.

A representative from Barrett & Co Solicitors responded to this review on 03 October, 2022

Thank you so much for reviewing how I helped you with your final settlement. It is really pleasing to hear that you valued my legal knowledge, sensible advice and that you found the process a friendly and efficient one. When a company you have worked for for more than 30 years makes you redundant, it can be upsetting and nothing makes me happier than helping put someone at ease when this happens. Your recommendation is very much appreciated and if I can ever help with anything in the future, whether employment or any other legal problem, please do get in touch. Justin Sadler.

I worked with Justin Sadler on my redundancy settlement and Justin was extremely helpful.

Justin then helped me though the process, ensuring that I understood everything and worked with me to ensure my employer fair and above board. Thank you, Justin.

I contacted Justin for advice about a very sensitive situation and, since our first meeting, I was very impressed with his professionalism and commitment. He was always very pragmatic and gave me a very comprehensive guidance and analysis of the different alternatives we had throughout the process. He is very approachable and always responded very quickly to any questions/concerns I had. I am very happy with the outcome and it was all thanks to Justin, the best solicitor I have ever come accross with. Amazing job Justin, thank you so much!!!
