Fantastic Advice & Expertise

I contacted Melanie after she was recommended by a friend as I'm in dispute with my Emloyers about a Settlement Agreement that wasn't expected & is very unfair, more than likely illegal. Melanie has been of fabulous support & is very knowledgeable, professional & empathetic.

I would recommend her in a heart beat to any one who has Employment law issues.

Fantastic

Melanie took me through my redundancy settlement agreement & was absolutely professional. Melanie was reassuring, concise & clear, explaining complex legal concepts to me in a way that was easily understood. Melanie also took the care to ask me how a recent job interview had gone, which I told her about in brief passing.

Thanks Melanie, I really appreciate your help!

Responsive, thorough and compassionate

Melanie was recommended to me by a friend. From beginning to end, she was responsive, thorough and clear with her advice and looked after my interests so I got the best possible outcome. She was also very compassionate and empathetic during a really difficult period - a rare quality when you are negotiating legal documents!

Pleasant, clear, prompt & helpful

The title says it all. Melanie Best gave me clear advice prior to engaging her and was very clear about her services, helping me avoid additional costs and unprofitable lines of argument. She was very prompt and drove my employment agreement to a successful conclusion. She came recommended and I see why!

Melanie Best Employment Lawyer

So I have been using Melanie Best's services in both my professional and personal capacities now for the past 12 years and would not consider using anyone else.
Melanie's incredible professionalism and understanding of complex employment contract discussions is just second to none and I now go into various contract discussions knowing that I have a true industry expert on my side and there for me should anything contentious ever arise.
I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone !!!!

Best is the Best!

I contacted Melanie as she was recommended by someone on my local Facebook page. Oh boy was I grateful.
My company was wanting to terminate my employment and they weren’t being particularly pleasant about it (when are they!)
I had a great twenty minute initial conversation with Melanie to explain what was happening. I said that I was happy to conduct the first negotiation in the offer and thereafter Melanie would take over.
Once a settlement had been agreed in principle, Melanie took over explaining to me what was also included in the settlement, including some items that only solicitor would understand, and pointed out some I should have read better in the first instance (when referring to my contract of employment, that was a lesson learnt, and could have been the hard way, had Melanie not stepped in and highlighted it to me).
I am very grateful for having Melanie on my side, she was super helpful, diligent and it seems very persuasive. Melanie explained all the details, gave me my options, made suggestions, stayed in contact with me right the way through, was there until the final minutes (the 11th hour!) she was a great “right hand lady”.
I left my company knowing that I had the best deal concluded and my head held high. I would highly recommend Melanie Best for any employment law requirements.

Highly professional - excellent service

I needed help in relation to a Settlement Agreement and, based upon the reviews of others, I selected Melanie Best Employment Lawyer. The service I received from Melanie was excellent in all respects and the highly detailed and capable advice that was given to me was extremely valuable, such that I would likely have encountered future problems had I not sought advice. I found Melanie to be very helpful, considerate, friendly and very prompt in responding and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending Melanie for any employment legal advice.
