Employment - settlement agreement

I needed legal advice in a very short time frame. Morr and Co were given to me as a personal recommendation and I am so glad they were. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others and say that Mel and the team exceeded my expectations. They engaged very quickly and were most responsive, amazing knowledge of this employment law area (which I really needed), proactive, fast, efficient and the communication was fantastic. Many many thanks .. Paul

Excellent

I was going through a tough employment situation and needed legal support. I met with Mel for a case review. He was very attentive, informative, detailed and thorough with the legal advice and employment legislation. If I didn’t understand the answers he took the time to explain them to me and reasons why. If I had further questions or needed to contact Mel, I had no trouble contacting him and he was always available for me (during a stressful time). He was in constant direct, communication and gave me clear, honest advice. He resolved my case within 2 weeks. The support he gave me was remarkable. I could not have settled my case without him and truly grateful for his efforts. I would recommend him and firm to anyone seeking justice against their employers for discrimination.

Friendly and Professional

As a Senior Manager in a Japanese organisation, I encountered a case of age discrimination in the actions my employer took against me. I consulted Mel McCrum, who immediately understood my situation and informed me that I had a valid case. He advised me on how to communicate with the company and what to say. His advice was both comprehensive and effective. I managed to negotiate a very satisfactory outcome and settlement with my employer without the need to involve Mel directly. He gave me the confidence to act on my own behalf and was always there to advise on next steps and provide guidance. I would definitely recommend Mel to others who find themselves in a similar situation.

Fantastic support on employment matter which led to optimum outcome

I had fantastic support from Mel McCrum at Morr & Co I contacted him to seek advice and guidance in terms of my employment rights when I was in a challenging position with my work. When I was subsequently made a without prejudice offer to leave my employment, Mel was able to advise me on the best approach to take to seek to maximise the settlement. I was ultimately able to secure an enhanced offer which I am very happy with. Everything was agreed very quickly which enabled me to leave and move on with my life.

This firm and in particular Mel McCrum (one of the partners) went above and beyond in assisting me. Professional, incisive, incredibly fast and pro-active. Do not hesitate to contact them on any legal matter. I would fully recommend them without hesitation!

Mel’s counsel was professional and thorough. I felt that he had read & assimilated all the documentation I sent over in detail and that his subsequent advice was pragmatic. When I decided to accept the offer on the table Mel helped me to move things along to a quick closure.

I contacted Wheelers LLP when I was dismissed by my employer, as well as 2 other law firms. I chose Wheelers because of Mel McCrum. He was the only one of the 3 law firms I spoke with who was prepared to spend time with me on the phone, understanding my situation and explaining how he could help me, before I committed to a face-to-face meeting, at which point fees would be incurred. I was also looking for an Employment solicitor who was experienced in handling IT sales management situations and understood the intricacies of commission plans, quarterly targets and other metrics by which a VP of Sales is measured. Mel was clearly very knowledgeable in this area as was demonstrated over a 2 month period by his shrewd and skilful approach to the negotiation. I regard my decision to select Mel as my employment solicitor to have been a very wise and lucrative choice. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation with their employer.
