Employment Settlement

Joanne May was an excellent employment solicitor. Very calm, grounded and realistic. I could not have achieved the settlement I did without her.

Excellent employment advice

Joanne May has advised me for the past 12 months, during a protracted dispute with my employer. She has been excellent in all respects and I have especially appreciated her calm and non-confrontational approach to resolving matters. Her advice has resulted in a resolution with which I am very happy and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Joanne.

Unfair Dismissal

We were recommended by a CWU colleague to contact Ms May with a potential claim for unfair dismissal. Joanne was attentive , to the case and we felt she left no avenue un explored in dealing with our case. In this case we did not win however brought one of the biggest employers in the country to court and its Managers. We were very pleased that through Joanne’s dedication and efforts we ensured that a level of satisfaction was reached and admissions of failure or should do better by the respondent and its Managers were recognised by the judge in court. Thank you for all your efforts.

I owe Joanne and Bridget a debt of gratitude for their speedy help

In a very short time frame, I urgently needed legal and negotiation support. Joanne came highly recommended by some of my most trusted peers, and she, together with her colleague Bridget, exceeded every expectation. They not only made a stressful situation far easier to navigate but also delivered an outstanding outcome with remarkable professionalism and efficiency. Despite the fact that the timeline coincided with Joanne’s pre-booked holiday, both she and Bridget remained fully committed and ensured everything was handled seamlessly with an excellent outcome. I am deeply grateful to them both and wholeheartedly recommend their services.
