Very helpful

Lauren (& Ruth from HR) were very helpful with an employee dispute recently.
Although we have been established for over 50 years we were totally unsure of how to proceed.
Lauren and Ruth were very helpful in guiding us through the process of finding a sensible and pragmatic solution.

Settlement agreement

Good 60 minute chat was good - Discussed issues with each clause. Solicitor had gained great in depth knowledge/experience dealing with several other staff at the same organisation (same settlement agreement for each), so shred the knowledge & benefit in my case.

HR settlement agreement advice

5

It was really easy to contact the associate recommended, even though she wasn't able to help due to annual leave she arranged for a colleague to contact me and book an appointment, which was done first thing the next day, Hazel was polite, friendly and understanding, we arranged an appointment with Lauren and Hazel ensured I was kept up to date with emails and with clear instructions on how to upload my ID. Lauren was clear and concise, she talked me through her recommendations and I had complete confidence in her advice.
