A calm and reassuring voice at a difficult time
When my employment situation abruptly changed, Robinson Ralph were quick to respond to my enquiries. Nick took great care to explain all the relevant information and steps, and advise on some key negotiation points, which led to a smooth resolution. I’d certainly recommend them.

Empoyer Dispute: Post termination restrictions
After landing a new job and handing in my notice, my employer decided to issue me with a Cease and Desist letter, with the threat of legal action if I took up employment with the new firm prior to post termination restrictions expiring, which initially would have been 6 months since the termination of employment, but was knocked down to 3.
Following a recommendation from a member of my extended family I got in contact with Robinson Ralph and after my initial representation Nick took my case on, clearly confident my employer was being heavy handed and had overstepped the mark and that any court would look favourably on my position, evidence and circumstance.
Nicks advice and action helped alleviate a lot of the stress and worry during my 3 month notice period, where I still attended the office daily. Without his professional advice and opinion I'm not sure I would have been able to keep turning up to work confident in my position without letting the stress from this seemingly David vs Goliath situation I had found myself in get the better of me.
Nick was friendly, polite and explained matters in a way that I could understand as a lay person, which I appreciated. His knowledge and expertise clearly evident from working on both sides of this type of dispute. I would absolutely go to Nick again if I ever found myself in hot water with another employer.

Excellent, practical and down-to-earth advice
We engaged David, Nick and Ellie in supporting an employment matter. Not only were they easy to deal with, but there was a down-to-earth approach that made the whole matter easier than we thought it could have been. Excellent value for money.

Great experience.
From the initial contact Nick was helpful, efficient and easy to communicate with. He guided and supported me through the whole process taking away any concerns, anxiety I had. He was “on the ball” in terms of speedy responses, answering questions etc. to a point where the whole process took just over a week. Really impressed. I have already passed his details on to a friend who is also now using his services. If required I will definitely use his, or if it’s on a different specialised topic, his firm again.
