Debbie Coyne

Tagged solicitor Debbie Coyne

We recently met with Debbie, Sylviane and the team at Slater Heelis to review upcoming employment law changes and our wider HR and policy arrangements. The session was extremely helpful, practical and well balanced. What stood out was the ability to combine strong legal knowledge with a clear understanding of how organisations actually operate in practice, particularly within a charity and care environment. Rather than simply focusing on compliance, the discussion helped us think more broadly about organisational structure, policy ownership and employment risk as we continue to develop as a leadership team. We came away with clearer priorities, practical next steps and plenty to reflect on internally. Thank you again to Debbie, Sylviane and the wider team for such a constructive and welcoming session.

Andrew BestClair Marsden

Tagged solicitors Andrew Best and Clair Marsden

Andrew Best and Claire Marsden of HSR Law supported us through the process of achieving charitable status for our company in the charitable sector. I cannot praise them enough. They expertly assisted in changing our articles, supporting us through the legalities and procedures needed to achieve the required board structures and gave advice on completing an application to the charities commission. We could not have done this without their knowledge, support and patience and we are so grateful for all that they have done for our company and helping us to widen the opportunities for our students with complex learning disabilities.

Ryan Mitchell

Tagged solicitor Ryan Mitchell

Our experience of working with Ryan has been exceptional. He has always responded in quick time, has the ability to communicate extremely well with us.. we are all volunteers running a member organisation with no legal expertise, his advice and explanations have been much appreciated. Where a question / issue is outside his expertise, he has put us in touch with appropriate colleagues. We are very grateful to have have had Paris Smith recommended to us, and for Ryan to be our go to advisor. Thank you Ryan. Anne McBride, Chair of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors

Sharon Hawkes

Tagged solicitor Sharon Hawkes

Sharon Hawkes was excellent, professional and responsive from the outset. She also initiated an outcome that we had not considered and she acted with integrity and commitment, and I believe genuine care throughout.
