I am extremely happy with the service I received from Jamie Riseley and his team in regard to their handling of my redundancy Settlement Agreement. During the on-line meeting I had with Jamie himself, I found him to be very friendly, helpful and insightful.
Later in the process, when my employer failed to meet an agreed deadline, Jamie sent an additional email that prompted them to into fulfilling their obligations. Highly recommended.
