Graham Shannon

Associate Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I qualified as a Solicitor in 1989 and have been practising as an Employment Law specialist for the last 15 years having previously advised clients in a wide range of Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence claims. In my previous practice I was the first Solicitor in Northumberland to be granted a contract to provide legal aid work in Employment Law which resulted in my accumulating a wide range of experience including Advocacy experience in the Employment Tribunal and Civil Courts. Engagement with my clients attracted me to Law and has been the source of my enjoyment of practice ever since. My current role enables me to devote 100% of my attention and effort to my clients and I have the support of experienced colleagues to help me deliver the service I take pride in providing. I am routinely asked to advise in the drafting of Employment Contracts, Procedures and Policies as well as to advise on issues arising from the sale and transfer of businesses where I work alongside my colleagues in our Commercial Property department. I am also asked to advise on the enforcement and drafting of post termination restrictions. As a Charity Trustee I have a particular affinity with Employment issues arising in the ‘not for profit’ sector.

Redundancy settlement agreement

I found that Graham was excellent in his explanation throughout the overly complicated settlement agreement. I found that Graham was always looking after my best interests. Many thanks 😊

Hassle free

I got in touch with EMG solicitors as I needed some advice regarding employment law. I was recommended EMG solicitors from a friend and can happily say they did not disappoint. Graham was lovely and very professional and efficient in dealing with the matter. I was kept informed each step of the way and overall I cannot fault the service I received.

Professional Kind Friendly

It was brilliant a warm friendly service from the very first call to the end of service. It's a lovely warm friendly atmosphere. Totally professional but lovely and friendly at the same time. Any questions I had, they were very happy to answer and made me feel at ease throughout the process
