Fantastic, couldn't recommend more.

Harriette was absolutely phenomenal for my particular case. She's meticulous and an asset to Darwin Gray. She managed to secure me an even better outcome than was initially presented after her careful research and well structured approach. If you ever need help with anything employment law wise, look no further.

Ramyar Hassan - Employment dispute

During a very tense and stressful time my dealings with Darwin Gray and especially Ramyar Hassan gave me huge comfort and a feeling of support in managing a process well outside any previous business and life experience. Ram's professionalism and his ability to explain complex legal concepts in a simple and manageable form allowed us to make highly informed decisions which resulted in a great outcome, well beyond any initial expectations. Speed of response was exemplary as was the advice given. Professional support tempered with a very human touch, I felt very supported knowing I had Darwin Gray and Ram Hassan in my corner.

Exceptional egal support for unfair dismissal

I contacted Darwin Gray about my unfair dismissal case and was impressed by how quickly they responded. Ramyar Hassan went above and beyond, providing clear, jargon-free advice tailored to my situation. His support alleviated the anxiety I felt during a difficult time.

If you’re feeling anxious or hesitant about seeking legal advice for an employment issue, don’t wait any longer. Contact Darwin Gray for personal, professional support that exceeds expectations.

Damian and Ram were extremely knowledgeable and professional when helping me with a potential unfair dismissal case with my previous employer. They were very patient and knew how and when to apply pressure to settle the matter without having to go to tribunal.

Business Sale Success

For context, I manage a business brokerage, and we recommend Darwin & Gray's services to many of our clients for all things corporate and commercial law.

We were particularly impressed with a recent deal under a tight timeline. Stephen Thompson and his team handled the process incredibly well and ensured our client was provided an excellent service.

I have worked with a couple of solicitors across a number of different deals. However, Darwin Gray has been by far the best. We will continue recommending our clients to use their services for the foreseeable.

Thanks again to all those involved.

The service I received from Darwin Gray was exceptional. Owen was quick to respond to any correspondence and helped me through the entire process. He explained each part of the agreement with me to make it as easy as possible to digest each part of the agreement with me.

Darwin Gray (specifically Owen John) were very professional and efficient in their advice for an employment matter. Owen was very helpful and always responded promptly. I would have no hesitation recommending Owen and Darwin Gray, indeed I came to Owen through a friend's recommendation.

I used Darwin Gray recently and found their service to be outstanding, and great value. Owen John was both extremely responsive and also incredibly patient and thorough in his explanations of the finer details. I would not hesitate to recommend this law firm. 5 stars well deserved.

(Translated by Google) We as a family would highly recommend this company. They are professional, supportive, honest and highly experienced in their field. For us, Siôn Fon and Rhodri Lewis looking a fantastic team. Thank you so much that it was a stressful road and we would not have seen the end of it without you.

Thank you very much to you both, this was a very long process and without the support and best help of Siôn Fon I would be very sober on us, please don't ask for help from this team, 100 % you will get the best.
