About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

No, I would not recommend
Unfortunately it was not a pleasant experience, Gordon did not explain to me what indemnity means in a settlement agreement and I ended up with further solicitors letters post agreement. It was clear that Gordon does not understand the environment I worked it and I didn’t feel he has my best interest at interest in mind.

Gordon Turner
Dear Anita From my records I advised you on your standard Settlement Agreement at the beginning of September 25. I advised you on the standard terms of that agreement, including the indemnity and this is recorded in my attendance note. Before we spoke I sent you my client care letter which included standard advice on agreements and also our complaints procedure. After we returned the Settlement Agreement I heard nothing further from you. You did not contact me regarding any 'further solicitors' letters' from your employer's lawyers, as referred to in your comment. Your review is set out below: "Unfortunately it was not a pleasant experience, Gordon did not explain to me what indemnity means in a settlement agreement and I ended up with further solicitors letters post agreement. It was clear that Gordon does not understand the environment I worked it and I didn’t feel he has my best interest at interest in mind." I do not accept this as fair criticism...As I explained at the time, there are 2 indemnities in a Settlement Contract. One is for any excess tax but as the amount you paid was under £30,000 this could not have been the indemnity you are referring to. The other indemnity states (the obvious point) '...if the employee breaches a material provision of this agreement' that they will indemnify the Company for losses sustained. I do not know whether you did in fact break your Settlement Agreement (or how it is alleged you did) but if you did, that would been AFTER we spoke. It is also self-evident that a person who breaks any contract will face challenges from a legal point of view. Either way, it is disappointing that you have made an assertion that I failed to advise you on a very basic point in your Settlement Agreement and yet have not raised this with me (or the Ombudsman) as per my client care letter either informally or as a complaint. I have been advising employees on Settlement Agreements for 30 years. No employee-throughout that time-has suggested that I did not advise them correctly on the basic terms in the Settlement Agreement. For that reason, I struggle to understand why you have made an allegation of this nature, 'out of the blue' and without making any attempt to clarify the issues with me direct. Finally, I do not understand how you would reasonably believe that your employer would pay an enhanced payment to you at the same time as allowing you to breach the terms of it or any incorporated agreement. Nevertheless, I hope you have managed to deal with the effects of any breach of yours of a material term in your agreement. Regards, Gordon

He answered all my questions with such patience. I have recommended him and his team to my colleagues who also received an exceptional service.

This is my first time going through the redundancy process, so wasn't really sure what to expect. Gordon was great. He made everything really simple to understand, offered some great insights and generally made the whole thing easy to deal with. Would highly recommend Gordon's services.
Magic thanks! Gordon

A massive thank you to Pippa for simplifying my settlement agreement. Her professional, high-standard service turned a very difficult situation into an easy process. Most importantly, she explained all the legal jargon in plain, easy-to-understand English. As a returning customer who first used GTE back in 2017, I can confidently confirm that their high standard of service has remained the same, if not gotten even better. I received amazing help during both of my experiences!
Thanks I’ll tell her! Gordon

Gordon was fast, clear and separated the generic legal parts of the agreement from what it meant to me as an employee. Also mention Rebecca as she was very efficient replying to me and was very warm and receptive to my questions.
Thanks Seb!

Writing on behalf of my Husband He contacted GTE as his old employer were dragging their heels to send the settlement agreement over and gave him literally a few hours to get it sorted in order for it to be run in the current payroll. GTE absolutely delivered!!!! From the first phone call to the call with the Paralegal Rebecca (sorry if it's incorrect spelling) to the chat with Gordon. The man himself. Extremely speedy service and it was completed within the few hours. We both will be recommending this company. Thanks. A lot team.
Mucho gracias!
