As a client of Jill’s and having instructed her to act on my behalf in several cases, I have seen at first hand how her extensive experience and knowledge of the law, combined with a desire to obtain the best results for her clients, marks her out as a first-class litigation solicitor. I would much rather have her on my side than against me, whether in court proceedings or mediation.   Jill likes to get to the bottom of a problem and understand her clients’ aims and aspirations, as well as the practicalities of the situation.  I would recommend her highly for her insight and sharp mind.  She is also user friendly and approachable.  I wish I had found her years ago.

I have worked with Jill on several esoteric corporate taxation insolvency cases requiring creative and commercial approaches, which Jill adopted robustly and practically. It is unusual to find a solicitor with her experience in these matters and her calm, technical proficiency makes her a pleasure to deal with in the sort of specialist matters in which I am instructed. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

We had some unfortunate circumstances, leading us to the need of a solicitor. Jill was recommended to us on a facebook support group forum and aren't we glad she was. We got in touch with her and she immediately made us feel at ease. Her confidence and belief in her ability with our case was a huge relief. She has a very kind way about her and is such a professional we were relieved.

Jill acted for me for two years on a trusts of land and trustees act matter. Whilst the matter itself should have been very straightforward, the other party was exceptionally tricky and unpleasant to deal with. Throughout, Jill was unfailingly measured, polite and professional, offering expertise and precise communication despite fairly extreme provocation. The advice she gave me was clear, knowledgeable, reasoned and considered, and her recommendations and approach instilled the utmost confidence during what was a very traumatic time. Jill’s total focus throughout was to gain a conclusion to the matter which was fair and reasonable, and which would limit costs wherever possible. The intention from the word go was to settle the dispute via mediation and negotiation, but unfortunately the other party made that impossible. When we had no option but to take court proceedings, Jill was a great support, explaining how the process would work and liaising with the other party’s legal team to ensure that the experience for the initial hearing was smooth, and the distress was minimised. Jill’s performance in court was clear, to the point, engaging and calm. The judge found in our favour on all counts, despite the other side engaging a large legal team.The judge set a court date and a condition that the other party must engage in a mediation prior to the final court hearing. Jill arranged the shuttle mediation session, liaising with the other party’s legal team and a specialist mediator. Jill led the negotiations and managed to secure an agreement that I was happy with and which avoided the necessity to progress the court hearing, thus saving a significant amount of money for all parties. Not only did Jill secure a successful outcome to the matter, but she acted with the utmost integrity, and was extremely collaborative and supportive throughout an extremely difficult situation. I cannot recommend Jill highly enough.

Jill Thomas helped us on a complicated and involved property issue her knowledge and experience was indispensable to us. Despite the history which was complex Jill maintained a logical and calm course throughout the dealings. We had full confidence in her ability to handle her case. Jill’s approach was professional and personable throughout and we were kept fully involved throughout the whole process,which we are pleased to say had a happy ending.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the legal advice and support you have offered to myself and my business over the years. When it comes to litigation, our experience is limited, therefore your knowledge and fastidious attention to detail offers reassurance and peace of mind. As and when required, you have gone over and above what has been expected in response to, what could have been seens as, minor queries. Your work is truly appreciated, we will be sure to use you again and will refer you with complete confidence to our business and personal contacts.

I have instructed Jill Thomas for over 25 years in relation to complex litigation matters, because I admire her strategic negotiating skills and incisive analysis. She is a team player and works well with a client, even under pressure. She is personable and a pleasure to deal with. There is no one I would rather have on my side.

I have been a client of Jill since she founded ThomasLitigation. My case is a complicated property dispute involving several parties. As a subject matter expert for such disputes Jill quickly identified the key issues and we agreed a way forward to put to the other parties. When dealing with other parties Jill is assertive in her approach and is very effective in making her client’s position clear as was evident when we proceeded through formal mediation with the other parties.
