MANAGING DIRECTOR
SRA ID: 197771
Since qualifying as a solicitor in 1999 I have worked exclusively in the area of employment law and I am a member of the Employment Lawyers’ Association. I have frequently been commended by my clients for being clear, concise, practical and solution focused whilst at the same time being empathetic and supportive.
Although I have expertise in all areas of employment law, whether that be in relation to contentious matters or simply advising or drafting, I have a real passion for dispute resolution and my background in psychology, which I studied at university before converting to law, helps me in this area. I advise regularly on settlement agreements and am commended for being able to provide comprehensive advice on these even when fast turnaround is required. I am a tough negotiator and (I am told) a fearsome litigator.
However, whether I am representing individuals or companies in litigation or just providing advice or reviewing/drafting a contract or handbook, I will always have my client’s desired outcome at the forefront of my mind. Client care and excellent service are my top priorities. In my opinion, every client should feel like my only client and, so far, I believe I have achieved this objective.

Settlement agreement
I asked Belinda Lester to advise me on the terms and legal effect of a settlement agreement between me and my employer within 3 days. She gave me very clear and honest advices. I thank her for her promptitude and her approachability. I would definitely use her services again.

Fantastic service
Belinda was great at helping me navigate the legal side of voluntary redundancy. This was new to me, and at times the legal wording was scary. Belinda helped me to understand what was happening.
I'm incredibly grateful for the way in which Belinda liaised with my employer and the fast pace of her work.

Very helpful during a stressful time
Belinda was very helpful, responded quickly and worked with my company to review an agreement despite them not sticking to the proposed deadline. She asked the company the important questions for me - I felt like she had everything handled which was great as I had never been through this situation before.

Lionshead Law redundancy settlement legal review and support
A legal review was required by Lionshead Law for a redundancy settlement.
Although the other party was not the most communicative in a positive way, Lionshead Law’s expertise shone through.
