Legal advice

"I cannot recommend Bridge Employment Law highly enough. From the moment I contacted them Lee was understanding, knowledgeable, and dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcome for my case. Lee gave me the peace of mind and confidence that my case was in the best hands, he provided excellent legal representation but also showed genuine care and concern for my well-being.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of employment law advice or representation."

Claire Horsfield and Lee Stephens from Bridge recently helped me with the negotiation of the terms & conditions of my exit from an employer and due to my position I was able to see the direct contrast of their service to other employment lawyers, they were extremely diligent, thorough and professional and I remain hugely grateful to them both for their support during what was a difficult time. I will be recommending Bridge to anyone who finds their self in need of professional employment law advice and would not hesitate to use them again in future.

Bridge employment Law are an amazing company to deal with, they provide a fantastic, friendly and professional service. They were there for me every step of the way, offering me full support, guidance and helping me achieve a successful outcome. I would fully recommend them to anybody, they are not your average stereotypical law firm, but in a positive way.

So having faced an unexpected employment event at work I was under pressure to resolve it. I had heard of Bridge and my wife asked about with positive reviews. I emailed Bridge and Lee came back to me with excellent, solid advice without any nonsense. At that moment I knew he would be both my advisor and subject expert and with his guidance I managed to get free of the issue I had. I was able to sleep better knowing I had Lee and the Bridge team on my side. Nobody needs an employment law specialist until something happens but they will leave you feeling valued, defend you and your rights and give you the best advice.
