Employment contract dispute
They were not only very competent, they were cool headed, calm and worked well with me as the client, litigation funders, and specialist counsel to succeed on all claims, with Award of costs and interest In ICC Arbitration. Their fees were competitive, transparent and well communicated.

Settlement Agreement
I looked on Google for a local solicitor that specialised in Workplace Settlement Agreements. I found Spencer Shaw Solicitors and made a call. All I needed to do was explained to me on the initial call. The documents came through from HR and forwarded onto my solicitor. When it came to my appointment, my solicitor called on time and we went through the whole document I had received. My solicitor was very experienced in this field and I felt reassured that he knew what he was doing. Advice was given clearly and I understood all that was required of me. Signed documents the next day and the whole situation was completed by mid afternoon of the same day.
Thank you Ian.

SSS Ltd. resolved queries and brought clarity to situation
I had a concern about a employment contract I am presented with taking that is very different to how my working pattern is and therefore looks like it doesn't fit, it is a very confusing situation for me so I requested the professional advice of SSS Ltd.
After an initial discussion there was an issue which the Principle Solicitor understood and handled effectively and efficiently.
I was then given the time and attention to fully express my concerns and these were taken piece by piece so that I was clear on the issues relevant to my situation.
Many thanks to Ian for this clarity and taking the time to resolve this.

A very good professional service
Throughout a long and difficult employment ending in me terminating the employment agreement for cause, which was contested in an international ICC Arbitration, where we succeeded on all counts, I never doubted the firm’s competence or willingness to take care of my interests.

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
