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

I first used the services of SME, over 30 years ago, after the death of my husband. I used them for legal apects around my employment and redundancy. I have since used them three times for the sale/purchase of my house on a private basis and for three properties under my company of Lyons Group Ltd, jointly with my son. He too has since used them twice for sale/purchase of his private properties. On all occasions we have been very happy wioth the services and advice we have received.

Alex Mancini was able to assist me on short notice with review of a redundancy agreement. We were able to sit together and review the agreement in full. He took the time to explain certain portions which may have otherwise escaped my attention. We were able to adhere to the strict budget set by my company. Most importantly, I had to meet with Alex with my 11 month old in tow, so it was heartwarming for her to be received well, including providing her with toys as a distraction (although she found the papers and cables far more interesting). Thank you very much for your help and I would return if needed!

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)
