Gilson Gray LLP

I contacted Steven Eckett at Gilson Gray to deal with a matter concerning an employment matter following a redundancy. The matter was handled in a very professional and timely manner and with a successful outcome. I was given good advice at all times and Steven responded to queries and shared correspondence quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending Steven and the services of Gilson Gray.

We engaged Steven Eckett to support Blueprint Design Company Limited during a critical period of employment contract review, in light of forthcoming changes in UK employment legislation, and amid a broader business transition. Steven provided clear, pragmatic and highly responsive advice throughout. His ability to distil complex employment matters into precise, actionable guidance gave us the confidence to proceed with the drafting and issuance of updated contracts, as well as the management of sensitive employee engagement processes. Of particular note was Steven’s handling of a challenging individual case where contractual discussions were repeatedly contested and accompanied by inaccurate interpretations and AI-generated rebuttals. His measured, evidence-based approach ensured that the company’s position was robustly validated, enabling us to address and resolve the situation efficiently. His timely interventions directly contributed to the withdrawal of unfounded claims, supporting a controlled and professional outcome during a high-risk phase of employment. Throughout our interactions, Steven consistently demonstrated exceptional clarity, speed of response, and sound commercial judgement. His support materially reduced the burden on management and ensured that the process remained structured, compliant and proportionate. We would not hesitate to recommend Steven Eckett and Gilson Gray (England) Ltd for employment law support, particularly where clarity, responsiveness and practical delivery are essential.

Had a great experience with an employment lawyer called Steven, he really went the extra mile to help me with comms to my ex employer and make sure I understood my situation well and got the best package possible

All questions that have been asked, have been made clear and easy to understand what was required of us and what we need to do in the process.

Easy, fast and able To take us on in short notice

Terrible service. Starting from lying in a quote by not disclosing all charges, throughout the whole process there was no contact and no responses to emails. During the case that took 9 MONTHS, two of solicitors drop the case and was either sacked or left the company. That would be ok if someone else would take over, but no, no one told us about it for 3 weeks, no replacement was provided. The contact was just cut completely for 3 weeks...Filling a formal complaint did not make a change as they sided with their solicitors, obviously. Today, a whole month after closing the case I am still waiting to receive money that they own me and my partner... avoid at all costs. The process that could easily take up to 6 month, dragged for 6 months with only reason being incompetent and unprofessional behaviour.

Absolutely appalled. Started process September start. And 4.5 months on, with no hopes with completing sale. January end will be 5.5 months. Will be seeing , if I am legible for compensation. And putting in HM money Claims. Horrendous.

We used Home property Lawyers to sell both sell and purchase. The conveyencing was dealt with very efficiently and we were kept informed of progress. What made the service stand out for us was how friendly and efficient both Dominic and Courtney were- easy to contact and we felt that we were dealing with real people who understood not just the legal process but also how it affected us. This is how conveyancing should be done. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or to recommend to others.

The firm were very professional - they provided a great service from start to finish - Would definitely use again and fully recommend to anyone thinking of using them. Also big thanks to Connor who was handling my case from start to finish, very attentive and professional and had a great attitude from start to finish, THANKS CONNOR!
