Settlement agreement - Daniel Wood
Sara was very prompt and very professional at all times.
Ian was very professional he was full of knowledge. He worded in a way that a 6 year old child would understand what he was talking about....
All the best

Settlement Agreement
As I am a local I decided to pop in to visit Spencer Shaw and most politely I was immediately seen to. Sahra was very accommodating, very professional and asked all the right questions regarding my case.
After a quick initial discussion I sent my documents through to Sahra and was soon booked in for my settlement agreement meeting with Ian, the principal solicitor.
Ian is clearly very well versed in employment law offering me great legal advice regarding the agreement including information on areas that had not occurred to me. His manner was professional, friendly and courteous.
I will certainly use their services again.
Thank You

Quick and Painless
Ian and Nazia provided information and experience right where and when it was needed. Slowing the process down so you have time to think and understand what's going on and how your decisions moving forward make certain impacts. They are clearly incredibly knowledgeable people who try and keep your time limited (to save money) and personable. The latter of which I am very grateful for.
Nazia got the result I intended and aimed for within a very quick time, her services were excellent.
Overall I would say they are worth the money and I would recommend their services.

Fantastic experience
I initially spoke with Sahra and found her very helpful and put me in contact with a solicitor that could help.
Dealing with Andrea was a great experience, she was very knowledgeable, direct and straight to the point. She made sure I fully understood what I was going into and also provided me with tips and support. Unfortunately due to holidays I then dealt with Ian and he was fabulous he has the patients of a saint especially with the intermittent internet access I was having abroad and the my loud children in the background. Ian helped make sure I fully understood what was happening and even asked for final clarification.
All on all great experience.
