    Expert Employment Law Advice

    We recently engaged Emma Saunders to assist in negotiating a settlement agreement with a departing employee. As an employer, our priority was to reach an amicable resolution while ensuring the business was fully protected from future claims. Emma provided excellent guidance on drafting the terms that were tailored to our specific situation. The process was completed swiftly, with clear communication at every stage. For any business owner looking for a solicitor who understands both the legal technicalities and the commercial risks of employment law, I cannot recommend Emma Saunders highly enough.

    I have worked with Emma for a number of years now within roles at a two different businesses. Emma has always taken the time to fully understand both the business and the specific situation which has made her advice consistently accurate and always helpful. Her response times are always quick and she offers advice which is easily understood and clearly explains the different options available and the risks involved with each. I would highly recommend Emma for employment law advice.

    After Athena (part of the Naphtens Group) was the company who helped me with a legal matter. I was looking for a trustworthy, experienced employment lawyer providing objective advice who is acting in my best interest. A friend recommended After Athena based on her excellent experience with Emma Saunders. Oli McCann worked on my case. Oli provided an excellent service. Not only was Oli quick to respond, his concise and thorough approach to my legal case was incredible. I felt very well looked after. Oli explained the legal terms in a way I was able to understand and he was able to achieve everything we wanted to achieve. Working with Oli made the whole experience pleasant and quick to deal with. I can fully recommend the company to anyone, you will be well looked after.
