Redundancy Settlement
Having been made redundant, I engaged Lisa at Pharaoh Law (as I have previously) in respect of my settlement agreement.

Great advice
Lisa’s professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were truly impressive, making a potentially complex and stressful process feel manageable and straightforward. Lisa was approachable, empathetic, and took the time to ensure I fully understood each step, providing clear and thoughtful advice. The outcome exceeded my expectations. I highly value and recommend Pharoah Law - an absolute credit to their profession.

Over and above
Over and above. I asked Lisa Pharaoh for advice on a transfer of equity issue related to a mortgage. She advised me she was not a conveyancing lawyer and although we could not therefore proceed with Pharaoh law she ensured I had important information to take into consideration. She went out of her way to make sure I knew what questions to ask the brokers panel. This I felt was service over and beyond what could be expected under the circumstances. Brilliant service and advice. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa Pharaoh.

Outstanding expertise and support throughout
I found myself in the most challenging situation of my career. When I realised that legal support was necessary to take action against my employer, Lisa came highly recommended.
Lisa and her team were great to work with from start to finish. The level of support and advice was superb and I felt that the team really cared about me, as well as a successful outcome.
Lisa was very transparent about cost and provided helpful information about the utilisation of personal insurance to cover legal fees.
This was the first time I have needed legal advice, it was a daunting prospect. Lisa guided and supported me when I was in a very vulnerable situation.
I had a positive outcome and restarted my career with confidence and a very good understanding of employment law.
I would highly recommend Lisa Pharaoh Legal Limited.

From the beginning of my case Lisa has been approachable, professional, and entirely trustworthy in her handling of a delicate situation. Always keen to explain in layman’s terms, anything difficult to comprehend and I never felt patronised or awkward in our conversation. Thank you Lisa
