I was supported by Lisa through a difficult negotiation with an employer. She was incredible, supported and explained everything and kept me in the loop - couldn't have asked for more.

Incredible support throughout and a successful outcome
Working in professional football, you are exposed to change on a regular basis.
Garry is an incredible friend who I trust implicitly to provide security in any contract discussions and exit strategies from clubs. His experience and genuine care for my welfare shows with his attention to detail in employment legislation and strong communication in what is right for me.
Lisa represented me during one exit negotiation and was successful in every request she demanded. I felt protected throughout the process and safe in knowing that I was getting a fair and successful departure.
I'll continue to use Garry and Lisa's services throughout my career as I know I'm in the safe hands of two people who have my best interests at heart and I can't thank them enough for everything they have done for me.

I used Watkins & Gunn on a recommendation and was certainly pleased that I did. Lisa Guscott, Solicitor and Director, and Kayleigh Rees, Executive Legal Assistant were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Professional, knowledgeable, approachable and efficient. I was very pleased with the dealing of my case which resulted in a satisfactory outcome. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
