Superb Assistance During My Redundancy

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Melanie Best. When faced with a redundancy matter, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. However, from our very first consultation, Melanie put me at ease with her extensive knowledge and professional demeanour. What truly set her apart was her ability to tailor her approach to my personal circumstances. She took the time to understand my situation and concerns, providing bespoke advice that addressed my specific needs. Her negotiation skills resulted in a significantly better agreement than what was initially proposed by the employer. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie to anyone requiring expert guidance on employment law matters in a swift and clear manner.

Settlement Agreement Advice

Melanie was friendly and informative while she reviewed my redundancy settlement agreement 1:1 , the first version of the SA needed some adaption and clarification, and she managed that directly with the company HR department and closed off the agreement within a couple of days.

Everything I could ask for.

My experience working with Ms. Best was simply excellent. She was responsive, professional and thorough. While my redundancy settlement was not particularly complex, I could not have asked for better than Ms. Best provided. Were I to find myself in this circumstance again, I will happily return to seek her services again.

Excellent service from a knowledgable and approachable lawyer

Melanie spent time to understand my position and to provide some very helpful intial advice. She supported me with sound professional advice throughout and dealt directly with my employer at the approriate points in the settlement agreement process.
As a result, I was able to negotiate a significantly more favourable settlement than first offered and am happy that I have entered into an agreement that protects my interests in the future.
I would happily recommend Melanie, who is approachable, professional, effecient and a good person to have in your corner when the need arises.

Friendly and professional service

Even from my first request for a quote, Melanie was by far the friendliest response I received, which I valued very highly given the stressful nature of needing the service. Throughout the process she was very informative l, kept me in the loop, made sure I knew what my options and the implications of things were, and was just generally nice to me. It made the whole process a lot smoother and less stressful.

Fantastic Advice & Expertise

I contacted Melanie after she was recommended by a friend as I'm in dispute with my Emloyers about a Settlement Agreement that wasn't expected & is very unfair, more than likely illegal. Melanie has been of fabulous support & is very knowledgeable, professional & empathetic.

I would recommend her in a heart beat to any one who has Employment law issues.

Fantastic

Melanie took me through my redundancy settlement agreement & was absolutely professional. Melanie was reassuring, concise & clear, explaining complex legal concepts to me in a way that was easily understood. Melanie also took the care to ask me how a recent job interview had gone, which I told her about in brief passing.

Thanks Melanie, I really appreciate your help!

Responsive, thorough and compassionate

Melanie was recommended to me by a friend. From beginning to end, she was responsive, thorough and clear with her advice and looked after my interests so I got the best possible outcome. She was also very compassionate and empathetic during a really difficult period - a rare quality when you are negotiating legal documents!
