Solicitor at Wollens

Simon Bean

Solicitor - Partner

SRA ID: 313970

I qualified in 2003 into a large commercial law firm, and joined Wollens in February 2018. I specialize in helping clients, with particular emphasis on clients in business, in resolving disputes and in employment-related matters. I provide advice to business clients from all sectors from manufacturing to farming, and from owner-managed businesses to multi-national businesses, on the full spectrum of commercial disputes. In addition, I advise businesses and individuals on all types of employment-related matters such as; contracts, policies & procedures, unfair & wrongful dismissal claims, discrimination claims, business sales and much more. A good proportion of my work takes place before court or tribunal proceedings have been issued, when there is often the opportunity for a resolution to be achieved without the need for a claim to be issued. To this end, I am an advocate of and experienced in negotiation as well as other alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as mediation.

Feedback on the support I received from my solicitor, Simon Bean.

5

My solicitor was sensitive and professional in what was a distressing case. He worked diligently to look for resolution and kept me well informed throughout. He managed my expectations well. He was prompt in his communications and although we never met in person because of the pandemic, I felt he knew and completely understood the case, and my situation.

Employment dispute

5

I contacted Wollens when my employer notified me that they wished to terminate my employment, without any grounds for dismissal. Simon rang me back that day, listened to my concerns and questions and immediately made me feel calmer and more in control of the situation.

He quickly got to grips with my situation and the personality of my employer, and was able to smoothly and swiftly negotiate a better settlement package without me having to do anything. He made the whole thing painless and stress-free.

Sensible advice

Following a major fire in 2 adjoining properties with different insurers we were besieged by loss adjusters and multiple beurocrats. We welcomed Simons more pragmatic approach and sensible advice.
