Excellent Service
Chris Hugo played a pivotal role in helping me achieve a great outcome from a constructive and unfair dismissal by my employer. Chris was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to all my queries. I could not have gotten through the daunting time without his help.

Redundancy
Chris Hugo and the entire Knocker & Foskett team were excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needed support with an employment matter. At every stage of the procress they were clear, professional, open and extremely helpful. From the first contact with their reception to the advice and support given by the legal team they were a credit to the legal profession.
The team, in my opinion, went further than was required not only to ensure a good outcome to the process, but also to explain every part of the procedure and legalities, so that I was well informed at every step. Many thanks to the whole team at Knocker & Foskett for making a difficult situation much easier than it could have been.

Enormously impressed
I engaged with Chris to review an employment settlement agreement and was impressed by each and every aspect of the process - if only he also did conveyancing, all of my problems would be solved!

Excellent service
I had an excellent experience with Chris. This was my first time of getting legal advice for employment related matters. Chris was recommended by a colleague, and he was very responsive when I first contacted him and during the whole process. Chris provided an excellent advice that allowed me to make the right decision. Overall, I received a great service and will definitely recommend Chris and the firm.

Legal council re Settlement Agreement
I was brilliant advised by Chris Hugo, who quickly replied to my first message, explaining what he needed to proceed. We met for over an 1.5 hour as he patiently explained to me the implications of each of the clauses of the settlement agreement I was about to sign. Chris is highly recommended.
