Jonathan helped me negotiate a redundancy package with my employer. He was very easy to talk to, he always responded quickly to phone and email messages and his advice was clear and easily understood. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jonathan.

Grateful to have found Jonathan West

Jonathan is highly professional yet approachable. He is extremely knowledgeable of employment law and what really impressed me was the high level of communication, guidance and unwavering support throughout. Jonathan never hesitated to break down the legal jargon to ensure I had full clarity and that I felt confident progressing at every stage of the case. He was honest and transparent, keeping me up to date throughout the process. I have no hesitate giving him the highest recommendation.

Excellent Support and Advice

I initially contacted Jonathan West, after I'd conducted a search online, as he had very good reviews and recommendations. I met Jonathan in the Oxford Office and his advice, regarding my problem, was straight forward, professional and clear. He was very responsive at all times and we finally reached a positive conclusion to my grievance with my employer. I would not hesitate in recommending this company to anyone needing support and advice in the employment sector.
