After having a ‘protected conversation’ and subsequent redundancy Joylon and his team steered me through the process to ensure fairness. I initially contacted 2 solicitors being new to the area and received call back within 15 minutes. Still waiting for the other company. I have already recommended my ex-colleague to speak with the team. I would highly recommend this company and it’s a weight of my mind knowing there is this expertise locally. Thank you to the whole team.

The help that Jolyon provided was clear and concise and extremely helpful. Just a shame that with my hands tied we could not see this through to a conclusion

Excellent supportive guidance given by Jolyon throughout a difficult time of employment driven by inappropriate behavior and unfair age related pressure applied by direct manager (French national), unfamiliar with English law. Jolyon helped structure thoughts and actions with one possible outcome of constructive dismissal. Jolyon provided legal advice and personal support and ways to navigate what was a difficult position. Ultimately my senior left the company and my role returned to an acceptable and challenging one and this continues today.

Working with Jolyon Berry at Thompson Smith and Puxon was a very good experience. I found Jolyon knowledgeable, professional and personable and was pleased that the outcome for my case was positive. Jolyon was sensitive and practical to my situation, transparently weighing the pros and cons (risk and cost), and then advising me accordingly . I would highly recommend Jolyon for employee/employer challenges. Thank you Jolyon!

I feel so fortunate for the support I received from Jolyon Berry during a stressful case with my employer. Jolyon and his team went way above and beyond in both fighting my case, and support during this time. Thank you so much for everything!

Jolyon Berry is an expert, tenacious and discerning solicitor who has twice helped me successfully to navigate complex and high-stakes legal conundrums. He has a high attention to detail, strikes an impressive balance between listening and challenge and was professional in alerting me to the most cost effective use of his time and expertise. His support staff were also a pleasure to deal with, highly efficient and organised. TSP's fees compare very reasonably compared to London firms whilst maintaining excellent standards.
