Stewart Law Solicitors

We needed to find an Employment Law Expert and after spending over 2 hours calling about 20 or more Solicitors in and around Colchester, Julie's office called me back and said she was able to look at our potential claim.
The service Stewart Law Solicitors provided was above excellent, from the word go. Julie, Louise and Goran were completely on the ball, so efficient and quick to respond.
Julie's 25 years Employment Law knowledge, was a complete asset during the claim.
Everything explained clearly and the support was second to none. Everyone was professional and friendly, really nice people to deal with. Overall it was a really very good experience

I am so happy that I found Julie at a period when I did. My dispute was with my own legal firm and an unfair dismissal claim which was couched as redundancy. I was concerned about whether Julie would want to take on another local firm. Not only did she take them on - as Stewart Law specialises in Employment law - but she had a groundbreaking result. We won by default after my former firm and its staff failed to respond on time to my claim. Julie managed to get their response (defence) to my claim struck out in its entirety, which is very hard to achieve. Julie’s expertise and submissions on these issues made them look like amateurs. I therefore won judgment for my claims of unfair dismissal, age discrimination, disability discrimination, notice pay and holiday pay. This was such a great result that it was reported in the Law Society Gazette and the judge went out of his way to praise Julie for what he described as her “exemplary” work and confirm her criticisms of my former firm. Apart from the incredible result, and Julie's incredible knowledge and zeal to win for me, Julie is a truly lovely person (if she is on your side) who explained everything to me in great detail and encouraged me and counselled when I felt very betrayed and confused by the treatment of my former firm and whether I wanted to go on. I am so glad I did. I would 100% recommend Julie Stewart.

Julie , Will and the team were absolutely fantastic in supporting me with my Settle agreement with my employer. Like most people I had no-idea where to start when beginning this process. Julie and the team provided a first class , professional and very friendly service all the way through from the first point of contact to the agreement being signed . Julie went above and beyond to get everything over the line for me and I cannot thank them or recommend them enough to other people .

Julie and her team helped me fight an employer who tried to enforce an unfair and unlawful contract change. After this was resolved, and I decided I wanted to leave the employer, she helped me to negotiate a very strong exit deal to my financial benefit. I couldn't recommend Stewart Law enough to anyone facing difficuities with their employer, you will get a very positive result, with friendly and professional advice.

Stewart Law Solicitors were instructed to resolve an on-going employment dispute.

A forward-thinking and professional organisation, with the utmost personal care delivered at all times, offering a transparent and honest service. Julie and her team ensure client expectations are well managed, with outstanding commitment and understanding. Julie’s, knowledge and experience are explementary in the field of Employment Law, also, supported other areas during a difficult and emotional time. The advice eased the stress triggers and allowed me to focus on other personal commitments, which were very helpful indeed.

Will, a Paralegal, provided a professional service, ensuring regular communication and updates on my case were consistently managed well, throughout the process.

In my professional view, if you’re seeking a credible organisation, one with good values and principles, then look no further- thank you, Julie.

A forthright and extremely professional company. Julie was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process and achieved a great result on my behalf. Would recommend instructing her in this area of law.

Stewart law, in particular Julie Stewart, advised and supported me in a recent employment law case. I found the service extremely professional andI was given excellent advice throughout. Due to Julie’s dogged determination and nerves of steel, the final outcome far exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Stewart law highly enough
