    This area covers how a workplace grows and supports its staff—training, progression, coaching, and opportunities to develop skills within the job. A solicitor in this field drafts and reviews development policies, apprenticeship and training schemes, and performance-management processes; advises on discrimination or disadvantage in access to development opportunities; and helps implement talent programs while ensuring compliance with employment law and equality duties. It shapes how people advance without risking legal problems for the employer.

    “I found working with Amanda great from the get go. She was realistic about timings, able to assist to help meet my goals, with guidance which meant things were done right to protect me longterm as well as within the immediate situation with clear communication throughout. I felt that I could trust her judgement and that she listened well to my needs explaining the details to ensure I understood. The meetings we had were professional yet friendly and offices well presented in a lovely location. Quote was slightly higher than other local firms, but for the service delivered worth it & would certainly use them again (Amanda in particular).”

    “Great service form start to finish. With the help from Hannah Ross and Sarah Sowden, they managed maternity cover and a very tricky and slow opposition. All whilst being considerate of my incurring costs and an emotional and stressful situation. For me however, it's always the human approach they take and for this, I'd happily always recommend to anyone and everyone. ”
