Very good advice
I have used the services of Tollers and particularly worked with Rebecca for more than 10 years. Rebecca consistently offers prompt and pragmatic HR practitioner advice rather than 'legal speak' and has been a key part in our ER approach.

Rebecca
Rebecca List represented and advised Check4Cancer in 2016-2017 regarding an alleged case of unfair dismissal raised by the former Managing Director. I worked very closely with Rebecca who took our own evidence and turned into the official bundle with great attention to detail. In the time before the preliminary hearing, Rebecca made us aware of the likely scenarios and managed our expectations in a professional yet caring manner. In addition, she handled repeated attempts by the Claimant to disrupt the process with a firm and effective approach. Following the final hearing in September 2017, we were delighted by the judgement that rejected the claim for unfair dismissal. This was largely due to Rebecca�s thorough preparation and understanding of the case, which led to the judge documenting that our evidence �was consistent and should be favoured�.� Attendance at an employment tribunal exposes small companies to a process that is alien and stressful, but Rebecca worked closely with us to manage out concerns and make that process as smooth as possible. Rebecca combines great attention to detail with a drive and ambition to be one of the best in her field of employment law, while looking after her clients in a caring yet professional manner. As a result, I would have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca to any company that requires expert advice on any aspect of employment law.

Thank you Rebecca
We have worked with Rebecca and Tollers for more than 5 years and she is our go-to person for complex employment law issues. She is well-liked by me and my team, responsive and uses her knowledge and experience to develop pragmatic options and advice which takes account of organisational context. Rebecca is an excellent and very professional advocate who cuts through detail to develop very clear and effective arguments. She is clearly passionate about her work and determined to get the best possible results for us, including cost-minimisation. I have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca and the quality of her work to organisations in the public and private sector.

Simple and professional
Throughout 10 years dealing with Rebecca and Tollers on our HR issues, it has always been easy, simple and professional.� Rebecca has guided Profoil through some, at times, very difficult HR decisions and in particular with the constant changing HR laws we have today. From a simple employment contract to our more complex employment issues, Rebecca has remained responsive, supportive, competent and committed to resolving our issues efficiently and effectively. We see Rebecca and Tollers as a very important support network to our company.
