Absolute professionalism
Fflur Jones of Darwin Gray is simply invincible. Extremely well-informed in her field, an attentive and empathetic listener, truly conscientious and collaborative... I consider myself so very lucky that I got my case handled by her, who did so with utmost professionalism. I cannot recommend her and Darwin Gray enough.

Working in Partnership
We have worked with Darwin Gray for over 10 years and receive high quality and considered HR and Property related advice. They have just assisted us with our conversion from General Partnership to LLP as part of a larger team of solicitors which was achieved on time and by bringing everyone with us.

First class support
I have worked with Darwin Gray for the last 15+ years across my employment with a third sector organisation and more recently in a manufacturing, commercial environment. Their knowledge and experience in particular with regards to HR consulting and Employment Law issues has been second to none. The team are approachable and explain in simple terminology how to navigate various employment issues, but also provide proactive solutions and support with policy writing to help avoid those issues occurring.
They learn about your business and your people and provide tailored solutions to meet your needs. They are easy to work with and very responsive! They have also delivered HR Essentials training to our management team, which was really well received.
I have limited experience with the commercial teams, but all of my dealings with this firm have been a positive experience. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Highly recommended!
The training delivered by Fflur and the Team was exceptional; it was aimed at just the right level, and punctuated with real life examples of when things go wrong.
Thank you for a great series of HR training sessions!
