Outstanding service

5

I had an urgent workplace issue and was seen to and advised within hours of contacting Nash & Co. I was directed to Karen Bussell, who went above and beyond any expectations I had for a solicitor. It was clear immediately that not only does she have an incredible depth of understanding of employment law but the ability to implement this knowledge in quick meaningful succession whilst clearly explaining the rationale and reasoning. I am deeply grateful for her compassion and understanding during an exceedingly difficult time for me, I truly did feel she had my best interest in mind throughout the entire time and her guidance and support was utterly invaluable. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Excellent, full-service solicitor experience

5

My family have used Nash since c. 2003, and during those few decades I've become a full customer, taking care of all my personal and business legal needs. Running a small business has required the services of legal experts who not only understand how the law works, but can see the company through the eyes of those it deals with. I've had to navigate issues like holding companies, share buy-backs, due diligence, litigation, human resources cases, and a number of personal / domestic matters. I've always felt very well supported and by knowledgeable professionals who are always accessible. I look forward to continuing to use Nash & Co going forwards, confident of excellent services.

Quick pertinent advice

5

I approached Karen Bussell to deal with a challenging employment law issue. I outlined the situation to her and received quick, pertinent and valuable written advice from her within a very short timescale, as time was of the essence. I was also able to contact her out of hours which was particularly helpful. I was very appreciative of the helpful and pragmatic advice she offered and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone experiencing employment law difficulties.

Needed advice on an employment dispute and was given Karen Bussell’s name. From first visit I was made to feel comfortable and given support.
Unfortunately the work situation became worse and it took a toll on my health - so Karen took over all of my side of the case. Her knowledge, way with words and support is something I can never thank her enough for. It went on for over 2 years - without that support I would have completely gone to pieces.
All of the team at Nash & Co have been so friendly and helpful to deal with .. I really can’t thank all of them enough.

Gill, thank you so much for such a kind and genuine review. We're so sorry to hear how things went for you initially, but we agree, Karen's brilliant, and we're over the moon that she was able to help you and get you to a good place. Karen and the rest of the Employment team here are incredible understanding, and they'll be delighted to hear your feedback. They pride themselves, not only on the work that they do, but on how they make their clients feel. It's vital that you are supported throughout. Thank you again Gill. We're sorry that we had to meet you in such bad circumstances, but we're really pleased that you're now in a much much better place. Have a great weekend!

Worked with Karen, on an employment requirement. Karen provided an excellent service and good advice. I would recommend Nash and Co and will use them for any future requirements.

Thank you so much for the 5* review and recommendation, Ian. We really appreciate it. Karen will be over the moon to hear your comments and feedback. People go to a lawyer when they need legal help from an expert. That's almost a given. But the client service is something that hopefully differentiates us from a lot of the other firms. So your comments really do make us very happy indeed. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us the review and recommendation. All the very best.
