Complicated Employment Law Case

We had a very complicated case with an Employee that was going to an ET and had never been in this position before. We contacted Andrew at Forbes as we needed some expert advice. Andrew's advice was invaluable and we resolved the matter with minimal fuss. Had we not had Andrew's wisdom I don't believe we would have achieved the positive outcome we did. He is extremely responsive and helpful, you can tell he has many years of experience. I would highly recommend Andrew for any Employment Law advice you need.

Complex employment matter

Andrew stepped in to help myself and my client with a very difficult case. He was extremely professional and also down to earth....explaining everything in an easy to understand manner and drafting brilliant responses at very short notice.
It is down to his expert intervention that we reached a very successful conclusion - can't thank him enough and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him and Forbes in the future - in fact have done so already.

Sheroze Nadeem was our solicitor during a very complex case. Sheroze was fantastic, he kept us updated and went above and beyond answering queries of a weekend and late at night. The case lasted quite a while and I glad to say it was a positive outcome. We can’t thank Sheroze enough for his dedication and I am proud to also now call him a friend.

Employment settlement agreement

Alice handled the drawing up and negotiations for me for the terms of a settlement agreement and ex gratia payment with my employer. The process was clearly explained and my options outlined at each stage. Any questions or queries I had were answered in a timely and clear manner. My employer needed chasing up a number of times which Alice handled diligently. The support I received throughout the process hugely reduced the stress of the situation for which I am very grateful.

Gabriela recently provided us with expert guidance through a significant period of change within our organisation. Her support has been invaluable, she helped us to navigate this period of change with a calm, considered and professional approach. Her knowledge and expertise was greatly appreciated, working seamlessly with our own internal People function. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on Gabriela again and would wholeheartedly recommend her, and Forbes.

Very poor at returning calls, I requested a call back, missed the call and received an answer phone message with a name and number to return the call. Impossible to get through and left 2 answer phone messages with no reply. I have chosen to give a 2 star review as they did originally try to make contact.
