Good Service

From the initial call I made to enquire, the service was friendly and fast. Was given an appointment next day and paperwork signed shortly after. The advice was thorough and delivered in a way that was easily understood.

Excellent Professional Service

I had a very positive experience with Spencer Shaw Solicitors. The service was efficient and reassuring throughout the process. Ian Jones was professional, knowledgeable, and guided me clearly at every stage, which made a potentially stressful situation much easier to navigate. I truly appreciated the support I received and would definitely recommend their services to anyone in need of expert legal advice.

Great assistance

I highly recommend Spencer Shaw. I needed assistance with my employment situation, and they were phenomenal. Very calm, friendly atmosphere, and Ian explained to me everything in a digestible way, which made me feel confident and comfortable to proceed. No pressure, no 'let's just get this out of the way ' attitude, again, I would highly recommend their services.

Exceptional legal expertise with a human touch

Sir Ian Jones at Spencer Shaw was a pleasure to deal with during a difficult dispute with my previous employer. From our first consultation, he was not only extremely professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly humane. He understood the stress I was under and handled my query with patience and genuine care. It made a huge difference to have someone so supportive in my corner. Thank you for all your help, Ian.

Very competent, knowledgeable and friendly. They were very thorough in their evaluation of my redundancy notice and certainly put my mind at ease by explaining in simple terms what the most important clauses meant. Definitely recommend them.

I have used many - many - solicitors / law firms over my last 20+ years in business and I found Spencer Shaw to be very knowledgeable and able to give me some excellent initial advice over the phone (from Ian, who is clearly very knowledgeable about employment law) and they then drafted some proper self employment contracts for us. I would definitely recommend the firm to other businesses looking for high quality employment law advice.

Spencer Shaw Solicitors have been great in assisting me with advice on a settlement agreement. Though the case was relatively straightforward, Ian and the team were very responsive and gave my case the appropriate attention required. I can confidently recommend them for any employment related legal advice you need.
