Excellent Settlement Agreement Advice

I required advice regarding a Settlement Agreement and a friend recommended Andrew Buckley. He was very knowledgeable and professional, and when we first spoke he immediately put my mind at ease, which took the stress out of the situation. The matter was dealt with quickly, efficiently and satisfactorily. So, I can not fault the service provided.

a very practical and in-depth consultation

5

I engaged Woodfines and Andrew specifically, as I already had previous positive experience of using his services. This time I needed some 'digging' into nuances of non-compete agreements and NDAs (which we , as market research specialists, use in our practice with customers). Andrew led me through this complicated domain in a very friendly, practical and dynamic manner; he demonstrated excellent knowledge of the business realities and practical approach. Overall, I found this consultation as a very good value for money.

Settlement Agreement

Clear summary of the process, ran through the document, practical advice. Limited advice re specific example and advised to ignore as alerting employer could be worse.
