Extremely fast response!

"They answered the phone within one ring(!), they were helpful and friendly, and they sent a client agreement for me to sign within about 20 minutes. They made it very clear that they valued my business, and myself as a client."

Conduct Investigation / Post-dismissal complaint support

"We have recently, reluctantly, had to dismiss two members of our team and could not have wished for a more supportive team. Ian, Nazia, Tashoi & Holly have all been extremely helpful. With their support we achieved what we felt was a fair outcome for all parties in a timely manner. "

Settlement Agreement

I wanted a specialist employment solicitor to aid me with reviewing and negotiating a settlement agreement with my employer. Ian Jones was fantastic he was empathetic at a time I felt vulnerable and blindsided. He explained my position and strategy based on his knowledge and facts. All went exactly as planned and I was extremely happy with the settlement result. Thank you so much for your kindness and expertise. I will definitely use you again if needed and will refer to others who need assistance in future.

Like the previous caller Stephanie Smith made note of, total waste of time, The Solicitor was telling me that in order for us to speak further she needed to merit assess my case and was completely condescending and arrogant on the phone, Telling me not to interrupt! because of a delay on the line,If you contact people to discuss business ensure you have some basic etiquette and empathy, I presume I’ll get a similar response as Stephanie did. This again was an employer grievance & potential tribunal case. Talk to people with a little bit of respect, you know who you are, You are dealing with people who are distressed,They are not Lawyers most of our discussion could have been pleasant but the manner in which you attacked means your communication style is unfit to talk to potential leads… Like I told you on the phone there is literally no need for you to contact me to speak to me like this and therefore do not contact me again, I’ll take my business elsewhere.

The purpose of our free initial call is to understand whether we can help with your matter and provide a quote for the work involved. This means that we do need to keep the conversation on topic. To advise on your matter we need to fully assess the evidence and circumstances, which means becoming a client of the firm. We are unable to provide free advice. We are very proud that a high proportion of our reviews say our team are friendly, empathetic, approachable and supportive. We also receive positive feedback about the individual solicitor you spoke to. We are sorry that we are not the right firm for you, but wish you all the best with your claim.

Spencer Shaw Solicitors have been great in assisting me with advice on a settlement agreement. Though the case was relatively straightforward, Ian and the team were very responsive and gave my case the appropriate attention required. I can confidently recommend them for any employment related legal advice you need.

Good Service

From the initial call I made to enquire, the service was friendly and fast. Was given an appointment next day and paperwork signed shortly after. The advice was thorough and delivered in a way that was easily understood.

very professional

I called for advice and was contacted back by Ms Felicity Price,one of their top solicitors.She was ever so polite and patient.She listened to my whole story and looked through my documents,then was upfront with her findings and presented me with all options of going forward. Although I only needed advice at the time,I would most definitely use their support in the future,as they also come highly recommended to me.

Excellent Professional Service

I had a very positive experience with Spencer Shaw Solicitors. The service was efficient and reassuring throughout the process. Ian Jones was professional, knowledgeable, and guided me clearly at every stage, which made a potentially stressful situation much easier to navigate. I truly appreciated the support I received and would definitely recommend their services to anyone in need of expert legal advice.

Great assistance

I highly recommend Spencer Shaw. I needed assistance with my employment situation, and they were phenomenal. Very calm, friendly atmosphere, and Ian explained to me everything in a digestible way, which made me feel confident and comfortable to proceed. No pressure, no 'let's just get this out of the way ' attitude, again, I would highly recommend their services.

I was very impressed with the service provided by Ms. Nazia Khan and the firm. She took the time to explain each step of the process clearly and thoroughly, which brought me real peace of mind. I truly appreciated her professionalism, clarity, and efficiency. I am equally satisfied with the firm’s overall handling of my case and the responsiveness of her assistant, who was always prompt and helpful. I highly recommend both Ms. Khan and the firm, and I am sincerely grateful for their support throughout the process.

Waste of time. Called me at a time I’d specifically told them I wasn’t available, then were dismissive, patronising and unhelpful. Asked me what I wanted out of the call - legal advice, obviously? But instead I was told to go away, gather more information (but no directions as to what information they specifically needed me to gather) and to call back once I’d done that. No, I will be calling a different solicitors instead, one who actually acts like they want my business.

A representative from Spencer Shaw Solicitors Limited responded to this review

Hi Stephanie, As our solicitor was unavailable at the time you requested, she chose to call you earlier than requested rather than leave you waiting longer. Although our solicitor did check it was a convenient time, we’re sorry to hear now that it was not. I understand that you wanted definitive answers, but we aren’t able to give legal advice on the free initial call. To provide advice, we would need to assess the relevant information and understand the context. As you did not have any formal information from your employer, and hearsay is not enough to base a claim on, we could only recommend that you request more information about the decision. How you go about this would depend upon your employer’s policies and response, and so our solicitor could not give you an exact process to follow. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations, but it would be wrong to give definitive advice without being fully informed. We wish you well in resolving the matter.
