    I had the pleasure to have Lydia’s assistance to deal with a settlement agreement with my employer. She was very communicative, flexible and reliable from start to finish and made a stressful process feel smooth and easy to go through. She managed to get the agreement through the line within the agreed budget and did overall a fantastic job, showing empathy and genuine care in the process. I can’t recommend Lydia enough.

    I engaged Lydia's services to handle a settlement agreement following redundancy. From our initial phone call, through our face to face meeting and all subsequent interactions Lydia was always very clear and transparent about the process - and costs, and pragmatic in the advice she provided. She was able to secure me an increased payout and improved terms of the agreement. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone else going through a similar situation.

    Advice on Settlement Agreement

    I have used Thackray Williams previously, so they were a first choice for support and advice on a settlement agreement with my employer. Lydia Button was able to schedule a prompt meeting, with flexibility of in person or virtual meeting. Despite the short notice she had reviewed the documents in detail and was able to provide good counsel, not seeking to change things unnecessarily, just providing good explanations and advice and changes only where necessary. She always responded promptly to further queries, and the agreement is now settled.

    Settlement Agreement

    Lydia provided advice in regard to a settlement agreement I was offered by my employer. Ahead of our first meeting she provided guidance notes which allowed me to come to the meeting fully prepared. Lydia explained everything thoroughly, giving advice where needed and kept me update through the whole process.

    I worked with Lydia Button at Thackray Williams LLP on a protected voluntary redundancy and she was excellent. Really professional, responsive, and quick with turnarounds, while also being very understanding and approachable. She made a potentially stressful process much easier to deal with and kept me well informed the whole way through. Highly recommend!

      Excellent conveyancing service

      We instructed Thackray Williams for conveyancing our house and Liz and Robyn were excellent throughout. Communication was always clear and concise and everything was handled very quickly. Signatures and witnessing were all handled with e-signatures which made things a lot easier, too. Overall, we were really impressed by the service we received.

      We had a very positive experience with Danielle and Melanie, who handled our case with professionalism, care and attention throughout. After previously having poor experiences with other solicitor firms, their personalised and high-quality service was a breath of fresh air. The purchase and sale case was complex and constantly evolving, but they remained responsive, knowledgeable and committed from start to finish. We always felt supported and well-advised and they ultimately got the job done. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and client-focused solicitors. We are very grateful and highly reccomend Danielle and Melanie.

      I have just completed on the sale of my home, Stephanie Sculley and Claire Grice supported me during this process and I was very pleased with their support. My home sale was slightly more complicated than most as I had already moved out of the UK when we were in the final stages leading up to completion. Yet even being literally on the other side of the world Stephanie provided me at all times with clear communication, good market insight, and excellent coaching. Selling a house at the best of times is incredibly stressful, to work with Stephanie and her team meant I removed as much as the stress and drama out of the process which was possible. Thank you

      Thank you for your wonderful review Tania. We're so pleased that Stephanie and Claire could provide the 'stress-free' support you needed, even from the other side of the world. Clear communication is vital, and all the more so, when working across different time zones. It's good to hear too, that Stephanie's coaching helped you reach a smooth completion. Best of luck with your new chapter.
