Professional and Friendly

Philip provided excellent service from our very first meeting. He was incredibly accommodating, making himself available even during the Christmas period when I needed guidance. This flexibility and commitment really stood out. His advice was practical and sound, which was exactly what I needed during an unsettling time. Philip's expertise with the settlement negotiations made a real difference—I ended up in a much better financial position than I would have without his help, and with far more certainty about my situation. Philip was professional, accessible, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. I'm very grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone needing similar assistance.

Efficient and Supportive Process

Right from the start Philip made my situation clear, straightforward and easy to navigate. He took the time to explain exactly how the process would work which immediately eased any concerns I had. He was exceptionally professional and efficient with communication that was consistently prompt and helpful. The turnaround on everything was impressively fast and he clearly understood the specific requests I raised, addressing them with a direct and practical approach. The entire experience was smooth from start to finish and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing support in this area.

Clear and Professional Guidance

I recently worked with Philip on my redundancy settlement, and I have to say the whole process was very straightforward. He was highly professional throughout and took a very clear, directive approach in providing exactly what I requested. Everything was handled smoothly from start to finish, and I’d definitely recommend Philip to anyone looking for support in this area.

I contacted Machins Solicitors regarding an outcome of a disciplinary hearing and employment laws. Phil was my solicitor and his service was BRILLIANT: he fully listened to my case and we discussed all points about it. He was honest, very empathic, and explained what I could do in my situation. He saved me from countless hours of anxiety and bad sleep nights. Wish him all the best, Best regards, Tiago

Philip Bain helped me with an HR contract which required verifying and validating. It was my first time dealing with him, though we have used the Machins family law department for other matters. The company is efficient, friendly and professional, and manages to demystify legal terminology for ease of understanding. 100% recommend!

Remarkable Employment Solicitor Employment solicitor Philip Bain helped me out of a very difficult LGBTQIA+ discrimination circumstance and secured a positive outcome for me. His finesse in handling the situation and emotions that evolved was remarkable. I looked for an employment solicitor because I was lost under all the secrecy and hedging that have been applied over a discrimination situation. I had no voice to deal with it. However, Phil was my voice. He listened, understood, clarified, and planned a strategy to deal with the case. He is professional, understanding, and highly knowledgeable. A leader in his field, I would recommend Phil to everyone in need of employment issues. Phil, thank you very much.
