After diligently working for a large global corporate for over 6 years, I found myself in challenging circumstances with my employer that were impacting my health and future employability. Zac at HF was recommended to me as I was struggling to manage the situation by myself. From the minute I engaged Zac's services I absolutely knew it was the right choice. Being in dispute with your employer is incredibly stressful, and I feel that Zac took that whole weight off my shoulders.
I had sought advice from other specialist employment lawyers before speaking to Zac. With others, I was just a case number. Zac's approach was very different. For the first time since seeking help, I felt listened to and heard. From the outset Zac was very clear, honest and direct about the process and did not bamboozle me with legal jargon - for which I was incredibly grateful.
Throughout the process of negotiating my exit from the business, Zac went above and beyond what I'd ever expected from my legal representative. He was completely unfazed by the other party deploying the incredibly expensive, hard-hitting lawyers from London. The fact that they did, was no-doubt down to Zac's incredible diligence and capability in achieving the most favourable outcomes for his clients.
In representing me throughout the process and achieving an excellent settlement, Zac has not only secured financial security for me whilst I restore my career in the long term, he has also restored my physical health and mental wellbeing in the immediate term. You cannot put a price on that.
It is also worth noting, that whilst I am not the only colleague requiring employment law services, I am the colleague who was envied by others for having selected the most diligent and compassionate employment lawyer. Zac really does live and breathe Horwich Farrelly's creed of 'People not just Lawyers'.
I would 100% recommend time and time again
