Redundancy Settlement

I would highly recommend Steph Marsh and Ivelina White, who supported me throughout my redundancy settlement with my previous employer. From the very beginning, Steph was professional, knowledgeable and approachable. She took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I understood my options, and provided honest and practical advice throughout the process. Having to deal with a redundancy settlement can be a stressful and uncertain experience, but Steph gave me confidence that my interests were being properly represented. Ivelina was also extremely helpful and efficient throughout. She was always responsive, kept me updated and helped make sure the process moved forward smoothly. The communication from both Steph and Ivelina was excellent, and I always felt that my questions were taken seriously and dealt with promptly. I was particularly impressed by how approachable and supportive they both were. They made what could have been a very difficult process much easier to navigate and ultimately helped me reach a satisfactory outcome. Thank you to Steph and Ivelina for all your hard work and support. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who needs professional legal advice and assistance with an employment matter.

Redundancy settlement

Being made redundant is not a pleasant experience when dealing with a global corporate. Steph was able to deal with my employers solicitors professionally and firmly. She secured a much better outcome for me, both financially and legally moving forward.

Helped alleviate the stress from dealing with employment law case

Steph and Ivelina were great. We had a call to discuss the case, and from that point Steph kept in contact throughout negotiations with the employer…managed to get the offer increased to a satisfactory resolution in a timely manner. It was the efficient communication that really supported in what is a daunting process that was the stand out in using Steph and Ivelina. Thank you again!

Excellent Service

I recently used Coodes for legal advice regarding an Employment Settlement Agreement and couldn't be more satisfied with the service received. All meetings were conducted via Teams, which was incredibly convenient, no travelling required, and everything ran smoothly from the comfort of home. The advice provided was clear and straightforward throughout the entire process. Every available option was carefully explained before any decisions were made, which gave me full confidence that I was making the right choice for my situation. The whole experience was stress-free and professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend Coodes to anyone in need of expert employment law advice.

Professional Service all round

We had a long drawn out selling process which eventually resulted in completion of sale of deceased mother' house. Hannah was extremely helpful and was always courteous and tolerated my continual never ending questions and always answered emails and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the future.

Excellent advice and assistance

Over recent years Sophie has assisted us with a number of conveyancing and related legal matters and we have found her to be outstanding. She is a complete professional in every way: clear, reliable, efficient, diligent, polite and friendly! We cannot fault the service she and her team have provided us and we will have no hesitation about going back to her should we need further support in the future.

We used Kathryn Shaw and Mandy for our sale and purchase of our new property. We highly recommend them, they pushed so hard to get us in as quickly as possible and our purchase was complete in 11 weeks! We will definitely use them again and highly recommend anyone needing conveyancing to contact Coodes

Dear James Thank you so much for taking your time to write this kind review. We were delighted to be able to help you. Coodes
