Five Star Employment Law Advice ✅
I am absolutely thrilled with the services provided by Kate Ash during my redundancy process. From the outset, Kate's friendly and approachable manner put me at ease. She was honest and transparent about my situation, offering invaluable guidance every step of the way. Her expertise took away any stress and uncertainty I had about achieving a fair settlement.
Kate's professionalism and dedication are unmatched. She provided personalised support, meticulously reviewing my case and ensuring that all my concerns were addressed. Her attention to detail and strategic advice made a significant difference in the outcome.
A particularly wonderful and unique touch was the therapy dog 🐶. The presence of the dog brought a sense of calm and comfort after our meeting, making what could be a challenging time bearable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kate Ash to anyone going through redundancy. Her outstanding service turned a difficult situation into a positive and empowering experience.

Truly Excellent
Having never required the services of a solicitor before, I was entirely unfamiliar with any of what I needed to do. Banner Jones and specifically Katie Ash made the whole process incredibly easy from start to finish. Everyone I dealt with was truly amazing and I shall absolutely be using them again for any future legal needs without a doubt.

Katie is our "Wonder Woman"
Katie has supported our business for the last 9 years. Initially we had no in house HR so we relied upon her quite heavily to help draw up contracts and company handbooks and support us through different processes, gradually over the years we have developed our own HR practices but have maintained contact with Katie on an ad hoc basis for her expert advice, sometimes for the "big stuff" , or more often just for reassurance that we are doing the right thing. I would highly recommend Katie (& Team) for employment law advice, they are reassuring , thorough and expedient in all of their dealings with us. Katie understands our needs as a business, and how we work, so is able to tailor her advice to our business whilst providing clear legal advice.
We have teased that she is our "Wonder Woman", but we mean it. There are times in employment law where you can feel vulnerable or out of your depth, and she has definately come to the rescue!

Redundancy settlement agreement
Katie recently advised on my redundancy settlement agreement. Katie was great to deal with - very approachable & friendly, quick turnaround time, explained all the legal jargon well, and most importantly I feel that the legal advice that I got was first class with Katie making several adjustments to my agreement to make sure that I was properly protected. Would recommend. Thank-you Katie!
