Employment Law Expert Matthew Gillett - Outstanding service

I highly recommend Matt Gillett for his outstanding work in employment law. He demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and sharp judgment from the start, giving me complete confidence throughout. Matt quickly got to the heart of the matter, identified the key points within a complex agreement, and set out a clear, compelling position. His communication was precise, firm, and highly effective—applying the right level of pressure while remaining entirely professional. Thanks to his decisive and strategic approach, the matter was resolved efficiently with an excellent outcome. Matt is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to achieving the best results for his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Impecable and excellent service as usual

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to this firm for the outstanding support provided throughout my redundancy process (this being the second time in 2 years). The service was handled with professionalism, sensitivity, and great attention to detail at every stage. Matthew Gillett, in particular, was exceptionally helpful, approachable, and reassuring throughout. His clear advice and prompt communication made a difficult situation far easier to manage. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking expert and compassionate legal support.

Profit Orientated company with slow/incapable solicitors

I spent £6500 for an easy divorce case and they weren't able to finish the job at all. Their hourly rate is lower than market but they are slower and has incapable solicitors ( at least my solicitor was) which doesn't help hourly charge. Their solicitor checked unsigned legal documents from other party and charged me twice once signed copy received. This must be simple number 1 rule that all legal documents must be signed before taking any action, You don't need to study law for years to learn such a fundamental rule. This is very much profit orientated law company, I would suggest anyone to avoid working with such a law firm at all costs, Go and find doubled hourly rate firm, I guarantee you they will finish your case at lower cost and quicker.

Our Wills and LPAs

We wanted to get our wills in order and additional advice on having the very confusing LPAs pt in place. Too much for us to understand and deal with, so we considered it worthwhile to get professional advice. it was important for us to understand the legal issues but not to get so confused that we were scared off. We found every stupidly naive question we raised was dealt with through explanation and respect.

I had an excellent experience with Matt Gillett at HCR Law. From the outset, he took the time to really listen to my concerns and understand the issues I was facing. He provided calm, clear, and practical advice that helped me better understand a complex workplace legal matter. What stood out most was the effort Matt made to ensure I fully understood my options and the legal position. He was patient, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me. He went above and beyond what I expected, and far more than any other firm I contacted regarding my issue. I am extremely grateful for his support and would highly recommend Matt Gillett to anyone seeking knowledgeable, approachable, and client-focused legal advice.

Do not use this firm. Appalling service. Stated their fees would be greater than the claim itself - an 8k claim. They have absolulety no interest in such a small claim and told me to go elsewhere - which I shall.

I was introduced to Kash Dosanjh through my best friend, who, like myself, is a professional and someone whose judgment I deeply trust. From the moment she recommended Kash to me, I had complete faith in her decision and I can confidently say that Kash exceeded every expectation I had. Kash was entrusted with handling an incredibly delicate and personal employment matter for me. These kinds of issues require not only legal and professional expertise, but also empathy, discretion, and unwavering support. From our very first consultation, it was clear that I was in capable hands. Kash took the time to understand exactly what I was hoping to achieve by instructing him. He listened attentively, explained the process with complete transparency, and got straight to work without wasting a moment. What stood out immediately was his professionalism, calm demeanor, and honest approach. Kash has a rare combination of legal expertise and emotional intelligence. He did not just treat my case as another file on his desk, he truly cared. He kept me updated every step of the way and made sure I never felt alone during what was, at times, a stressful and emotional process. Let me be clear, this man works extremely hard. I was shocked at how responsive he was whether it was a call, an email, or even a message, his replies were always prompt, no matter the time or day. Evenings? Weekends? Kash was available. That kind of dedication is rare and, quite frankly, unsustainable in the long run without proper recognition. So please give this man a break, but more importantly, give him the credit he truly deserves. Thanks to his skill and persistence, my matter reached a successful resolution, and I could not be more grateful. Kash did not just meet expectations, he smashed them out of the park. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been represented by someone of his calibre, and I honestly cannot thank him enough. To anyone considering instructing Kash, do it! Without hesitation. He is worth every penny and more. To Kash’s employer or leadership team, you have an absolute asset on your hands. His performance not only reflects his own character and professionalism but also elevates the reputation of your entire organisation . He deserves not just recognition, but serious consideration for a review, a raise, or any opportunity for advancement. Professionals like him are the cornerstone of client trust and long-term success. I sincerely hope I will not need legal support again anytime soon, but if I do, Kash will be the first person I call. Thank you for everything, Kash, you are truly exceptional.

Hi Aurora, Thank you for taking the time to share such an incredible and heartfelt review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear about your positive experience with Kash and the outstanding support he provided throughout your employment matter. Your words truly highlight his professionalism, dedication and genuine care for his clients - qualities we value deeply at Wright Hassall. It’s wonderful to know that Kash not only met but exceeded your expectations, providing both expert legal guidance and personal support during a challenging time. We’re proud to have him as part of our team and will be sure to share your kind feedback with him and the wider firm. Best wishes, The Wright Hassall Team

I needed help with my internship in London and had an excellent experience with Wright Hassall for my visa application, particularly with Dionne Russell, who was very helpful and available throughout the process, and also with Vishal Makol, who was extremely professional. Dionne was very patient in explaining everything to me and was very efficient in doing everything possible to speed up the process so that I could start my internship on time. I am truly grateful for their help, because without Dionne, I certainly would not have been able to start on time. I highly recommend their services to everyone!

Hi Valentin, Thank you for your wonderful feedback and recommendation. We’re so pleased to hear that Dionne and Vishal were able to support you so effectively with your visa application. We’re delighted we could make the process a smooth and positive experience for you. Best wishes, The Wright Hassall Team

Fantastic support in the sale of London Flat

Laura has been brilliant throughout the sale of my leasehold flat in London. She guided us through the complexities of the leasehold transfer process and the requirements for demonstrating compliance with the Building Safety Act. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness made a potentially stressful process much easier to manage. I would highly recommend Laura and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Laura is incredible.

Laura was recommended to us as first time buyers and we don’t know what we would have done without her. We felt at ease the entire process, always felt like we could jump on a call and felt like we learnt a lot from the experience. We would recommend Laura to anyone and everyone - she is incredible and just an absolute delight to work with. We will miss our frequent chats with Laura - that is how you know you found the right lawyer!

Consistently goes above and beyond

Have now had the benefit of Laura's support on a number of transactions and she consistently goes above and beyond to take the burden of the process away from you and to make up for the slack of other parties involved in the process. Almost as sure as any potential problem arises, Laura has either come up with a solution or has the alternatives available to provide you with a sensible option not losing sight of the objective to get the deal done effectively. All the time keeping you adequately appraised of progress. Could not recommend highly enough.

The team at Wright Hassall have been incredibly helpful each time we have had to go through the process of renewing our UK Visa. Daniaal recently helped us through the ILR application process and he made everything incredibly seamless, providing us with the right level of support and professionalism throughout the journey. If you have any immigration support needs in the UK, I would highly recommend working with the team. Thanks, Daniaal!

Dionne Russell and Matthew Davies were absolutely fantastic in helping me and my family sort out our visa. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout what can often be a stressful process. They took the time to clearly explain each step, ensured all our documents were in order, and were always available to answer any questions we had. Their attention to detail and commitment really gave us peace of mind. Thanks to their help, everything went through smoothly. I genuinely appreciate all their effort and would highly recommend them to anyone needing visa assistance.
