Comprehensive and complete legal advice, with an emphatic approach
I had a shareholder dispute with a partner. Simon has provided very valuable advice, while having a broad professional outlook on my case. He understood the core of the case swiftly and sharply. Besides being an in-depth professional, Simon Bean has enriched the value of advice by his empathic approach and pointing out key to-do's for future endeavours. His letter of advice tackled the matter with depth, providing an exhaustive approach. An another point for which I am grateful, was his advice asto a person that is still on the steep curve of getting familiarised with many aspects of advising. I would definitely recommend him for his legal knowledge, for his communication throughout, and equally important, for his empathy and sharp overlook on situations.

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