Top 10 of 3,549 law firms for Career Breaks, Employment

Law firms ranked by client reviews

A career break in England is an arrangement allowing an extended, usually unpaid, pause from work while preserving the employment relationship. A solicitor helps you negotiate the break, draft the agreement, check how it interacts with your contract, pay, pension and eligibility for benefits, and plan your return with clear terms and notice periods. They also advise on what to do if the employer changes the arrangement or your return is delayed.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The main stakes are preserving future employment and pension rights while managing gaps in pay or continuity. A solicitor provides advice on the terms, ensures the agreement is enforceable, and clarifies what happens if you cannot return on the agreed date or if the employer withdraws the break.

Anthony Willis

Tagged solicitor Anthony Willis

Anthony made what should be a upsetting and traumatic ending of employment easy and even made me smile. He gave honest and blunt advice ensuring all facts were explained. The way he communicates makes you feel like he is your solicitor unlike others you feel are just another client and he wants you off the phone. He was brilliant explaining the legal facts of the agreement and I come away feeling like I now understood the document myself, I hope I don't need Anthony in the future BUT if I ever need employment advice I wouldn't even consider another solicitor. Really is the best solicitor and a decent person.

Kathryn Hirst

Tagged solicitor Kathryn Hirst

This is my first time needing a solicitor and I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Kathryn Hirst and her team. My case was handled extremely well with consistent communication, transparency and commitment to get everything completed in the short amount of time we were working with, often dedicating time outside of core hours to action any outstanding responses. I would highly recommend this team if you are looking for solicitors with expert knowledge in Employment Law, you won't regret it.

Grace Lowes

Tagged solicitor Grace Lowes

We have been working on a case with Grace Lowes and have been extremely impressed by the care, attention and diligent approach and the quality of service provided. New to this type of case and claim, we needed someone who would not only steer us in the right direction, but help educate us along the way so we learn how to improve for the future. Grace done this with patience and good humour. Not only this, she helped us reach the most cost effective outcome that would limit the impact on our small but mighty business. We highly recommend Grace and despite not wishing to have any more legal claims to respond to, we would of course choose to work with her again if we need to! Thank you Grace!
