Exceptional Service - Philip Bain

5

I received an exceptional professional efficient service from Philip Bain who provided me with advice, support and guidance with what was a difficult sensitive issue. Philip advised me through every step of the process to realise the options available to me and assisted in helping me with the right decisions to proceed forward with. Philip is easy to talk to, very down to earth and was always available for any questions I had, not just on the facts of the matter but also how these type of situations affect you personally and advice on how to deal with this. I would not hesitate to recommend Philip's services to anyone. Philip is a true professional and an invaluable asset to Machins - Thank You Philip..

Employment Matter

5

It was a daunting task to consider taking my Multi MIllion Pound employer to tribunal, but even with my lack of legal knowledge of Employment Law I knew I was wronged. I contacted Machins and assigned to David Rushmore and Philip Bain. They made everything clear and rated my chances of success which agreed with my insurers assessment. After a little stalling, posturing and negotiation, as soon as the tribunal date was set my employer made an out of court settlement far above their first offer.

Remarkable Employment Solicitor

5

Employment solicitor Philip Bain helped me out of a very difficult LGBTQIA+ discrimination circumstance and secured a positive outcome for me. His finesse in handling the situation and emotions that evolved was remarkable.
I looked for an employment solicitor because I was lost under all the secrecy and hedging that my former employer applied over a discrimination situation. I had no voice to deal with it, however Phil was my voice. He listened, understood, clarified, and planned a strategy to deal with the case.
He is professional, understanding, and highly knowledgeable. A leader in his field, I would recommend Phil to everyone in need of employment issue.
Phil, thank you very much. Kind Regards. Marcio

The service I received from Phillip and his team was exceptional. Supportive, friendly, balanced advice, great communication and very efficient are just a few words I’d use. At a difficult time Phillip and the team made it easy and stress free for me.

I contacted Machins Solicitors regarding an outcome of a disciplinary hearing and employment laws. Phil was my solicitor and his service was BRILLIANT: he fully listened to my case and we discussed all points about it. He was honest, very empathic, and explained what I could do in my situation.
He saved me from countless hours of anxiety and bad sleep nights.
Wish him all the best,
Best regards,
Tiago

Philip Bain helped me with an HR contract which required verifying and validating. It was my first time dealing with him, though we have used the Machins family law department for other matters. The company is efficient, friendly and professional, and manages to demystify legal terminology for ease of understanding. 100% recommend!
