Highly professional and personable service

After being recommended to Forbes from a friend, Imogen was assigned to my case. From the very outset, Imogen quickly learned of the issue I was facing, in a very understanding and proactive manner. By doing so, was able to guide and support in the best w possible, in what were some quite tight timescales.
Imogen was clear, consise and professional in both approach and knowledge and ensured my interests were at the centre of the outcome. Imogen took away a great deal of pressure away from a stressful situation.
I can highly recommend Forbes, and in particular Imogen, should anybody require legal support in an employment law capacity.

This was my first experience of being made redundant but the care, assistance, responsiveness and overall first class service received by Fern Gordon is a real credit to your business. I wish Fern all the success within your business.

Thanks to Amanda

Amanda helped us to reclaim a property that was a year trying to remove the tenant. As she explained it did not go to court but the correctly followed process enabled us to re take property before it actually went to court, Thank You Amanda

Exceptional Legal Expertise

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal representation provided by Sheroze in our recent Contentious Litigation case. From the initial consultation to the resolution, Sheroze demonstrated unparalleled expertise, dedication, and a commitment to achieving justice.

Throughout the entire process, Sheroze exhibited a deep understanding of the intricacies of our case. Their meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive legal knowledge were evident at every stage. They not only navigated the complex legal landscape with finesse but also ensured that we were kept informed and involved in every decision-making process and ensured it would remain commercially viable.

What truly set Sheroze apart was his strategic brilliance during the process. His presence during mediation was nothing short of impressive, combining eloquence with a commanding grasp of the legal arguments. It was evident that Sheroze had invested significant time and effort in building a strong case on our behalf based on the true facts.

The communication throughout the case was exceptional. Sheroze and his team were prompt in responding to our queries, providing updates, and explaining legal nuances in a way that was easy to understand. This level of transparency and accessibility greatly contributed to our peace of mind during what could have been an overwhelming and stressful period. His dedication to our case was not just professional but demonstrated a genuine commitment to seeking justice for their clients.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sheroze to anyone seeking legal representation. His unparalleled expertise, unwavering commitment, and exceptional results make him a true asset to the legal profession. We are grateful for the positive experience and the successful resolution of our case, thanks to Sheroze's outstanding efforts.

Excellent work: painstakingly done. Thanks Katie.

I cannot thank Katie Lee enough for the thorough work she did in drafting a set of Platform Terms for my startup Attendist.

She went above and beyond to detail clauses that needed adding and the end result is I really feel 'protected' by the Terms of Business she put together. I was impressed by the breadth of the clauses and the scope of what she set out to cover in the document, and her willingness to explain the legalese to a tech-minded newbie like me. This happened a few times!

She was thorough, patient and conscientious. Can't commend highly enough.

Feedback following conclusion of proceedings

From the initial contact to the conclusion of the action Sheroze has been a total professional. More than just legal advice his empathy and pastoral care of me and my wife do credit to him and Forbes. This action has taken many months but the conclusion turned as was as he advised it would at our very first meeting. Through some very difficult periods where our resolve was wavering his advice was always sound. Whether the contact was in person, via the telephone or via ZOOM he always left us feeling reassured bearing in mind the implications were potentially life changing.

Very poor at returning calls, I requested a call back, missed the call and received an answer phone message with a name and number to return the call. Impossible to get through and left 2 answer phone messages with no reply. I have chosen to give a 2 star review as they did originally try to make contact.
