Solicitor at EMG Solicitors Limited
Graham Shannon
Solicitor - Associate Solicitor
SRA ID: 149375
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.

Graham did a great job even though we were unsuccessful in the end
Graham did a great job he was very thorough and spent time to really know my case. Even though the outcome wasn't exactly what we wanted i feel that it would've been much much worse without him

Employment Law guidance
Graham provided accurate and timely support during a complex work situation. Graham’s knowledge of the charitable sector was very beneficial and helped me to draw the matter to a close with a settlement agreement being established.

Sorted with clarity and care
A relatively small legal issue but sorted with clear advice and with care. I was happy with the way my concerns were taken on board, and the way in which my solicitor explained matters and 'fought my corner' to ensure there would be no problems. I will use the firm again in the event of requiring legal support. Friendly staff and friendly solicitor who kept my interests to the forefront.
