Laurence
Laurence, I just wanted to tell you that it was a pleasure working with you on this matter. It was a delight to work with a fellow solicitor in such a professional and proper manner. There are not many of us left

Outstanding
I have worked with many employment lawyers via my professional career, and without doubt Laurence is the best I�ve worked with. His knowledge of employment law is outstanding. In addition, he is a fantastic negotiator, whilst maintaining a high degree of integrity. I found him extremely personable, and supportive, and his approach offers a level of clarity and understanding that drives through legal jargon. In summary, if you need a professional employment expert and tough negotiator to represent you or your company, Laurence is your man!

Grateful for your work
We are so grateful for your work on this, Laurence. It�s certainly been a long and difficult road but you have made me feel validated throughout, and perhaps won�t realise how monumental that has been for me. Thank you so much for all of your help, and Louis too! God forbid any of my near and dear ever need an employment solicitor, but if they do � you and your firm will come highly recommended

Consistent service
When, as an HR professional, I seek advice from an employment solicitor, I want a clear and understandable interpretation of employment law, a knowledgeable assessment of risk and an action plan based on a pragmatic and commercial approach. Both Daryl and Laurence deliver consistently against these criteria and that is why I have worked with them for many years and am more than happy to recommend them

Prompt, efficient, professional
Since January 2009, we have been subscribing to DC Employment�s Enhance package. For a very competitive annual fee, they provide expert help and advice on all aspects of employment law. We normally ask our query by e-mail, and receive a clear and comprehensive response the same day, often within an hour or two, from our designated partner, Mr. Laurence Dunn. If the matter is urgent, we have the option of speaking to Laurence on the phone, often receiving an answer immediately. We have received invaluable help on matters such as parental leave, disciplinary hearings, employee disputes, paternity leave and redundancy, and the advice has always been delivered in a prompt, efficient and professional manner, giving us complete peace of mind. We have always been more than satisfied with the outcome. We would therefore have no hesitation in recommending DC Employment to any company looking for a knowledgeable, competent and trustworthy firm of employment law solicitors

Excellent
Our (AAIR) experience of Laurence was excellent and he demonstrated what a good person he is. He really is on the ball and I doubt if you could be in better hands. He is absolutely meticulous, but combines that with being a very pleasant person who you can really talk and open up to.
