I approached Simon when I was informed that my role was "at risk" of being made redundant. I did not cope well with this news, until I spoke to Simon. His calm, knowledgeable, reassuring manner was exactly what I needed in the state of flux I found myself in. He walked me through the process of being made redundant, what to expect from a settlement package, what different terms mean step-by-step while keeping me calm and focussed. When I spoke to Simon, I felt I had all of his focus. I felt like his only client. His knowledge of how redundancy works from both the employee and employer perspective was invaluable. Simon helped me understand why my employer was doing things the way they were doing them and what their end goal was. This helped immensely with my need to know in order to process the situation.
My experience with Simon was 100% positive and I would not hesitate (and, indeed, have not) to recommend him.

I cannot recommend Jessica, my employment solicitor, highly enough! From our very first interaction, she was incredibly informative, clearly explaining every step of the process and all my options in a way that was easy to understand. Beyond her impressive legal knowledge, Jessica was consistently friendly and genuinely understanding. She listened attentively to my concerns, offered empathetic advice, and made a potentially stressful situation feel manageable. It was a true pleasure working with her, and I'm so grateful for her expertise and support.

When I first encountered Adeeb, I was less than happy with the conveyancing experience. Calls and emails were taking too long to be answered at a stressful time. Adeeb took over my property sale and the improvement was marked. A great listener, he was highly professional, always doing what he promised and promptly too. Honest and personable, he was there when I needed his advice and assistance. I would not hesitate to recommend Adeeb if you are considering selling your house.

There are no words that can fully sum up my gratitude to Carolyn McPhee from Balfour + Manson LLP. Throughout the arduous six years my case went on for, Carolyn was at the helm of it and kept in contact with me constantly. She let me know the next stages of the process, how things were progressing and would answer any questions I had- no matter how big or small. Nothing was ever too much work or a hassle to Carolyn.
It sounds very cliché, but it was due to Carolyn’s continuous support and determination that I managed to carry on through the lengthy and weary process of my case.
Carolyn is an absolute credit to her profession and I cannot Thank her enough for all that she done for me.
I highly recommend Carolyn McPhee as she makes you feel extremely at ease from the beginning, even when discussing areas that aren’t easy to divulge.

Kirstyn made the process of selling our property an easy and stress free experience. She was on top of the brief, accessible and responsive to our questions and to top it all off, she was friendly and approachable.
We had a negative experience with another firm in the past and so its great when you have such a good experience, with the confidence and trust that Kirstyn brings.

Amazing company, first class litigation team. If your looking for a solicitor that can pull out all the stops then look no further than michaela guthrie. She won me a personal injury claim which was very tricky to say the least. Communication skills were second to none. Also very understanding and caring. Well done michaela. Keep up your amazing work..

I Would like to thank Fiona Muirs for all the hard work she put in to my case.
It was a long and lengthy process however, worth it in the end.... (Nothing to do with fiona)
I was always made aware of what was happening and Fiona communicated with me all the way through.
I felt so relaxed speaking to Fiona and she always listened.
Thanks again Fiona.
