Settlement settled with ease

I can't thank Wollens' Jon Dunkley enough, for the calm, kind and honest advice during my redundancy. Everything was set out plainly, with my options spelled out clearly and the potential outcomes laid out so that it was made very easy to reach a conclusion. Thank you

Maternity Discrimination Case

Unfortunately, I was put into a very stressful and difficult position being made unfairly redundant at 34 weeks pregnant. Jon was absolutely fantastic throughout, knowledgeable, patient and unwaveringly kind. He made the experience bearable and supported us to get a better outcome, thus enabling us to start parenthood on a more stable financial footing. An exceptional asset to Wollens and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I was helped through the process of selling my company by the sound advice of Jon Dunkley. He amended the proposed agreements resulting in a safer and more favourable process, and better security for me in the future. His advice was down-to-earth and pragmatic and his long experience came across.

Jon and his team represented myself and my colleagues on two separate occasions. They were nothing short of excellent. Jon was always on hand to provide expert advice and was particularly sensitive and courteous throughout the whole legal process. I cannot recommend Jon Dunkley and his team enough. Thank you.
