Employment contract dispute

They were not only very competent, they were cool headed, calm and worked well with me as the client, litigation funders, and specialist counsel to succeed on all claims, with Award of costs and interest In ICC Arbitration. Their fees were competitive, transparent and well communicated.

Settlement Agreement

I looked on Google for a local solicitor that specialised in Workplace Settlement Agreements. I found Spencer Shaw Solicitors and made a call. All I needed to do was explained to me on the initial call. The documents came through from HR and forwarded onto my solicitor. When it came to my appointment, my solicitor called on time and we went through the whole document I had received. My solicitor was very experienced in this field and I felt reassured that he knew what he was doing. Advice was given clearly and I understood all that was required of me. Signed documents the next day and the whole situation was completed by mid afternoon of the same day.
Thank you Ian.

Predatory practice, avoid. Lawyers were very unprofessional, had to seek advice elsewhere on how to communicate and complete process in place with this practice. Your wellbeing is not in their interest at all.

Quick, Efficient and Helpful

I can’t recommend Nazia Khan highly enough. She helped me with an employment matter and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She was quick to respond, efficient in handling everything, and incredibly helpful and understanding throughout. She made what could have been a stressful process so much easier, and I’m really grateful for her support. If you need a solicitor who knows their stuff and genuinely cares, she’s the one to go to.

SSS Ltd. resolved queries and brought clarity to situation

I had a concern about a employment contract I am presented with taking that is very different to how my working pattern is and therefore looks like it doesn't fit, it is a very confusing situation for me so I requested the professional advice of SSS Ltd.
After an initial discussion there was an issue which the Principle Solicitor understood and handled effectively and efficiently.
I was then given the time and attention to fully express my concerns and these were taken piece by piece so that I was clear on the issues relevant to my situation.
Many thanks to Ian for this clarity and taking the time to resolve this.

A very good professional service

Throughout a long and difficult employment ending in me terminating the employment agreement for cause, which was contested in an international ICC Arbitration, where we succeeded on all counts, I never doubted the firm’s competence or willingness to take care of my interests.

Nazia was truly exceptional—friendly, incredibly helpful, and genuinely caring. She was attentive, empathetic, and showed great understanding of my situation. I’ve already recommended her to a family friend who needs assistance with a similar matter.

Not worth it

Pros: Pleasant and approachable staff.

Cons: Lack attention to details of individual cases, which is exactly what a client pays for; specific case-based advice.
I had much more success receiving free legal advice on reputable websites, which were far more informative and helpful than the over-priced legal advice I received. You would expect paid legal advice to be tailored to your specific case and any points for further investigation to be highlighted. I don’t believe all the documents I sent over were meticulously scrutinised, seems it may have been a rushed job as I raised notable points my legal advisor has not noticed.
My first time paying for legal advice in a time of need and I was surprised at the quality unfortunately. My own research proved more effective when liaising with the opposite party.

From first contact, through to completion, the company and its staff were very proactive and helpful.
Given the short timeline I had given them to work with, they managed to bring everything in on time and to my satisfaction.
Extremely professional company, from knowledge, and communications and I am pleased to have had them on my side.
