A trusted partner

Too often legal representatives apply a process to a problem, rather than focus on the specific needs of the client to consider all possible alternatives, I felt Pearce West were on my side, a trusted advisor and I do not hesitate to recommend them for their client centric approach.

Right from the initial consultation, Jonathan was fantastic to work with. All correspondence was dealt with as efficiently and effectively as possible, and we reached a very positive outcome with my employer. He was equal parts empathetic and pragmatic. I highly recommend.

Never been so easy to engage with an employment solicitor!

Pearce West were recommended on a website that lists the best solicitors in Reading, so I decided to call them together with a few other solicitors. It was very easy to engage with them, they were very personable and understood immediately what I was trying to achieve, so I decided to go with them... and I picked well! My case was dealt with very efficiently, they were thorough, easy to speak with and the price point was competitive. I would definitively use them again in the future. Highly recommended!
