As a retailer, we have used Brachers for over 15 years and they have consistently provided excellent service. As a client, we have access to their free online webinars for legal advice and updates, which is particularly helpful for Human Resources.

This was my 1st time seeking legal advice and to make the matter i had breached my employment contract. From the moment i spoke to Abigail I felt comfortable and in safe hands Louise and Colin advised me clearly on my options and path each of my decisions could lead me to. i followed their advice and was very happy with the outcome of my case. Once again thanks Louise for your knowledge, help and time. I would recommended Brachers. Expensive but very professional and straight to the point with no wasted time.
