Chris Hugo played a pivotal role in helping me achieve a great outcome from a constructive and unfair dismissal by my employer. Chris was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to all my queries. I could not have gotten through the daunting time without his help.

Chris Hugo and the entire Knocker & Foskett team were excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needed support with an employment matter. At every stage of the procress they were clear, professional, open and extremely helpful. From the first contact with their reception to the advice and support given by the legal team they were a credit to the legal profession.

The team, in my opinion, went further than was required not only to ensure a good outcome to the process, but also to explain every part of the procedure and legalities, so that I was well informed at every step. Many thanks to the whole team at Knocker & Foskett for making a difficult situation much easier than it could have been.

I engaged with Chris to review an employment settlement agreement and was impressed by each and every aspect of the process - if only he also did conveyancing, all of my problems would be solved!

Excellent service

I had an excellent experience with Chris. This was my first time of getting legal advice for employment related matters. Chris was recommended by a colleague, and he was very responsive when I first contacted him and during the whole process. Chris provided an excellent advice that allowed me to make the right decision. Overall, I received a great service and will definitely recommend Chris and the firm.

Legal council re Settlement Agreement

I was brilliant advised by Chris Hugo, who quickly replied to my first message, explaining what he needed to proceed. We met for over an 1.5 hour as he patiently explained to me the implications of each of the clauses of the settlement agreement I was about to sign. Chris is highly recommended.

We are extremely grateful for Damien Jones’ professionalism in helping us to understand what was required for our Wills as we needed to include a Trust, set up for our son who is Autistic with learning difficulties. It is a huge relief to know we have safely prepared the future for both our daughter and our son when we can no longer be there for them. The whole procedure was organised swiftly and safely by the receptionist and Damien’s Secretary, to ensure we were able to complete our Wills during the Covid restrictions. All phone calls and signing of the Wills were carried out with great professionalism, care and helpful manner.
We were also in awe of the building when safely sitting in the room to sign our Wills. The whole procedure was a pleasure. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Damien.

We had Elizabeth appointed to us for the conveyancing for our house purchase and sale (completed July 2020). Elizabeth was extremely thorough in her work, clear and concise in her communication, readily available on phone and email and friendly and helpful throughout. There was not one single mistake or typo made anywhere throughout the process and we feel our case was in the best possible hands with her. We would highly recommend Elizabeth for your conveyancing or other legal needs.
The only thing that would have improved the service would be to have online documentation signing capabilities as I know some other firms have, since there is a lot of form filling & scanning involved, at least in the house purchase process (not so great if you have an unreliable printer as we do!).

About this branch

Description

Based in Sevenoaks, Kent we provide a comprehensive range of legal services to clients, combining the highest standards of professionalism and efficiency with a friendly, personal service. The firm's practice is large enough to provide advice in all areas of the law undertaken in a provincial practice, but small enough to ensure that the quality of personal attention remains the most important aspect of our service to clients. All of our staff appreciate that good "plain English" communication is essential to the smooth running of our practice. We work as a co-ordinated team, keeping our clients fully informed at all stages. Sound legal advice depends on listening to the needs of our clients. Only by spending time with our clients, and getting to know their specific situation, can we recommend the most appropriate way forward. This is particularly important at the outset of the client-lawyer relationship. We appreciate that deadlines are critical and we are used to working to tight schedules and timescales. We are a highly skilled and dedicated team of lawyers who can draw collectively upon many years of experience. Our knowledge of the law is extensive, and is complemented by our experience of dealing with a broad range of legal matters. Fee-earners work independently, or in partner-led teams as appropriate. We are also able to draw upon the services of a wide range of other professional contacts including accountants, surveyors and specialist counsel where necessary. The firm is strengthened by its traditions and yet also committed to making full use of new management techniques and office technology. This website gives an outline of our services. If you require more information or advice on a particular matter please do not hesitate to contact us.
