ConwayMcColl Solicitors Ltd

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent work and clear advance in dealing with a recent incident regarding an office staff member. Your guidance and professionalism at this time have undoubtedly saved the company from a long and contractual situation, at a time when tensions were extremely high. We thank you for the guidance and personnel advise you gave, particularly on how to deal with an incident promptly, professionally and legally correct. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any of my work colleagues and would certainly return to yourself should any contractual issues arise in the future.

When I took on an apprentice towards the end of 2014, I considering writing my own apprenticeship agreement. I did a bit of Googling and made some notes, but in the interest of BNI I decided to have a chat to Pam. After our first meeting, her questions made me realise that this was perhaps not something that I should attempt to do myself. At our second meeting, Pam and I went through the first draft of the agreement and she also produced three documents that I hadn't even considered having: A Social Media policy (rather important considering the nature of our business). Disciplinary and Capability Procedure and a Grievance Procedure. These cover such vital points that could have left me and my company vulnerable without them. I can't recommend Pam highly enough. She is very knowledgeable, professional and understanding. She never belittled my knowledge (or lack there of) of the law, instead she went to great lengths to make sure I understood everything. I hope I'll only ever need Pam in a proactive role but there is one thing I know for sure, if l ever am involved in an employment law case, I would want Pam on my side! Thank you Pam. I look forward to employing your services again when my next employee comes on board.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you wholeheartedly for the help and advice you gave me when I embarked on the scary step of employing someone. As someone who has never done this sort of thing before you calmly talked me through all the requirements needed from a legal point of view with regards to employment contracts making everything clear and putting me fully in the picture. You were extremely efficient and I was in receipt of a full set of contracts in no time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to friends and family and indeed people I've never met.

I would not hesitate to recommend any employer or employee to contact Conway McColl Solicitors for any employment law help. Pam and her team are excellent to have on your side when it comes to employment law issues. They will guide you through with expert detailed advice that can make all the difference between success and failure of your claim.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the help that you and your team have provided us with in recent months. You have of course assisted in two main areas; the first being the provision of contracts of employment for our staff and the second dealing with issues relating to a particular staff member. The second issue of course underlines the need for proper contracts of employment. Some might expect that as solicitors we should be able to deal with these matters ourselves. As you know specialisation is key and being a good family lawyer does not make me a good employment lawyer. You provided us with the level of service that went beyond what I would expect. In times of crisis you dispense prompt re-assuring advice, it may not have been advice that we wanted to hear, but it meant the difference between me doing something stupid and resolving matters quickly. The contracts were tailored to suit the particular staff members and any issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently. I know that there are still some staff issues that I need to address and I am grateful of you continued help and support.

I am writing to thank you for your advice and service relating to me having to terminate the employment of one of our staff. This was new territory for me and you professionally and patiently guided me through all of the steps I had to take, even providing me with a letter to send to the employee. Based on this experience, I will be using Conway McColl for our Ongoing HR needs and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to everyone I know in business.

I thought initially I would be able to handle my case on my own but I was so glad I used Conway McColl - Pam was fantastic

Recently Conway McColl Solicitors assisted in co-defending a claim against a client of Boss Projects LLP at an employment tribunal from a self-employed individual. As Boss Projects can only protect companies from the point of engagement any previous engagement history must be defended by the client. Conway McColl and in particular Pam successfully defended the client at the hearing by completely discrediting the claimant in his personal statement and in his verbal testimony. The case was defended in a clear and precise manner and the justifications were reasoned and well considered, leaving the judge little manoeuvrability and no other prospect than finding in the defendants favour. The case was defended successfully against the worker status and saved our mutual client thousands of pounds. Boss Projects and our legal partners would be happy to work together again should the need arise. Thank you again Pam for your high level of service and please feel free to promote this reference

Pam McColl dealt with my employment issue very effectively. She kept me up to date at all times and she took time to explain everything clearly and concisely to me. I liked that she enabled me to see the issues objectively and without the inherent emotion that inevitably comes with problems surrounding employment. I hope not to have to consult an employment lawyer again but if I do, it will be Pam.

This is a long overdue thank you for the employment law consultancy you provided my company, Propagate Creative Ltd, with in the second half of 2014 in respect of employee contracts. You diligently worked through the project, guiding us on all matter and advising us of our obligations and rights as the employer. I would have no hesitation in using your services. I look forward to referring you into them all in due course.
