    “Richard Nelson LLP were very easy to contact, firstly through a very straightforward web form. I then got a very rapid reply linking me with Lawyer Patrick Macken who offering very prompt review of the documentation. Once in his possession, a phone discussion outlined his review of the document and he advised on any clauses I might want to consider in more detail. A change was subsequently introduced and Patrick checked this and all was signed off in good time. Patrick was very clear and professional, providing me with clarity regarding the documents wording, and answering my subsequent email queries very quickly. I am very happy with the service Patrick provided and will definitely use Richard Nelson LLP and Patrick again.”

    “Jason provided excellent support during a very stressful employment matter. His advice was clear, practical and strategic, and his guidance on the legal position and negotiation approach was instrumental in helping me achieve the outcome I did. He quickly helped me understand the options open to me, explained the risks in a way that was easy to understand, and helped me approach the process with much more confidence. I really appreciated not only his technical knowledge, but also his calm, thoughtful and human approach throughout. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone dealing with an employment dispute, especially if they need clear advice, strong strategy and practical judgement.”
