Dear Julie, I was made redundant in July and was advised by my company to speak with a solicitor about my redundancy settlement. Not only was I upset and worried about the situation, but also very scared and nervous about contacting a solicitor as this was all new to me. I contacted Kingsfords and spoke firstly to Jacqueline Chappell, who was very helpful and gave clear instructions on what I needed to send to her. Jacqueline immediately made me feel much better and told me that it would be Leigh Prebble-Benn who I would have my telephone appointment with. When I first read through my settlement agreement I didn't really understand what it all meant and so when Leigh took the time to read through it line by line to explain things in simpler terms, it wasn't so overwhelming. Leigh also gave clear instructions on what I needed to do next and everything was all done quickly. It was also very lovely to know that I could contact Leigh if I had any other concerns. Their professionalism and kindness is outstanding and I wanted to thank them both as I am truly grateful. Best wishes and kind regards

From the very first contact, explanation along with discussion, through to the signing of the document by all parties, the communication and overall experience was exceptional. Highly recommended and thank you once again.

Paul Herbert was easy to get on with and understanding of ones predicament. Very pragmatic about it all

Supported me in a professional and sensitive way when dealing with my settlement agreement. Special thanks to Laura who patiently walked through the process with me, represented my interest excellently and kept me informed throughout.

Guy Salter provided excellent service, explained everything in a “language” I understood, gave valued advice and negotiated a mutually agreeable settlement. I would highly recommend SME Solicitors.

When I found myself facing a complex and emotionally challenging redundancy situation, I was fortunate enough to have Oli McCann by my side. From our very first conversation, Oli demonstrated not only exceptional legal expertise but a level of care, compassion and personal commitment that is incredibly rare. Throughout the process, he was always available when I needed him – often outside normal working hours – and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Oli's knowledge of employment law is second to none. He quickly understood the complexities of my situation, provided clear and practical advice, and guided me through every stage with confidence and reassurance. What impressed me most was his ability to achieve an outstanding result without unnecessary confrontation. Through his calm, measured and highly professional approach, he helped resolve the entire matter amicably, preserving relationships whilst securing a genuinely positive and mutually beneficial outcome. More than simply acting as my solicitor, Oli became a trusted adviser and source of strength during a difficult period. He has an extraordinary ability to make you feel supported, protected and understood. In many ways, it felt as though he put his arms around me and carried me through the process. Following the successful resolution of my redundancy, I established my own international consultancy business. Thanks in no small part to the support, advice and encouragement I received from Oli, the business has gone from strength to strength in just a matter of weeks. I cannot recommend Oli McCann highly enough. He is undoubtedly one of the most knowledgeable professionals I have ever worked with, but more importantly, he is someone who genuinely cares about his clients and the outcomes they achieve. If you are facing an employment challenge and want exceptional legal representation combined with genuine human support, you will struggle to find anyone better. I cannot thank the Napthens team enough (Now considered part of the Holland family x)
