Redundancy settlement advice

I'm being made redundant and needed to take legal advice regarding a settlement agreement. I had a meeting with Lauren Sellwood who guided me through the settlement agreement. Lauren explained everything perfectly and was kind and empathetic to my situation. I felt at ease from the second the meeting started and was confident that Lauren made all efforts to ensure I was being treated fairly. I couldn't have been happier with the way my case was handled, with a human approach actually times, this was appreciated. it was handled extremely quickly and I can now move forward with thins, thank you so much'

Kent HR provide an outstanding service; their whole team proved to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive and compassionate. They acted as genuine partners rather than simply a service provider and their help and guidance with HR structures and processes will continue to shape and inform our company policy long into the future.

Excellent service

I can’t thank Sophia enough for taking on my case. It was probably simple to most but for me it was complicated. She was informative and very knowledgeable. Either Sophia or one of her paralegals got back to me quickly with any queries I may of had.

I am very pleased with the Service I have received from Brachers. Arranging my Will and LPA following my mothers passing and her additional ongoing issues seemed like a lot to take on in one go but everyone at Brachers was approachable, patient and understanding with me while I got my head around it all. By the time the paperwork was completed I felt that a good thorough job was done and I was glad to have left it in Brachers hands. Thank you.

The process has been smooth and impressive. I have been exceedingly happy with Karen's thoroughness on our behalf and I am very pleased that we chose Brachers. I work with you as the main contact for my employer, with the Employment team under Catherine Daw, so I knew I would get excellent support from the firm, but it is always nice to confirm it.
