Early Conciliation advice
Once Natalie reviewed my case and we spoke over the phone, she knew I had a deadline of Monday to get advice on a figure and put this forward. The empathy and understanding she displayed was second to none. Natalie was on holiday on the Friday, but she made the effort to pass this over to her colleague Helen. On the Friday I had a very happy surprise waiting in my inbox. I then forwarded this figure to my Acas representative, and negotiations are now going under way today (Monday).
I thanked them both for this. Going the extra mile and it was greatly appreciated, as I have had a rather tough 4 months or so.
Excellent service, and for them both to do this for me proved a lot to me. There are some good people still left out there. Her patience and empathy on the phone to me was very professional and also very human.
I was recommended Hansill’s from a friend in Lancaster where I live. I will be sure to recommend to anyone who may need a solicitor and asks me for advice in future.
Thank you again,
and kind regards,
Marc

Outstanding communication and commitment
This was my first time needing a solicitor and I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Kathryn Hirst and her team. My case was handled extremely well with consistent communication, transparency, and commitment to get everything completed in the short amount of time we were working with, often dedicating time outside of core hours to action any outstanding responses. I would highly recommend this team if you are looking for solicitors with expert knowledge in Employment Law, you won't regret it.
