Clear, Pragmatic Employment Law Advice for Employees

Employment law advice that explains things plainly, tells you where you really stand, and helps you make the most of the position you’re in.

When the stakes are personal

When your job is on the line, or on offer, the stakes feel different. Perhaps its a settlement agreement to weigh up, a redundancy that doesn’t sit right, a grievance you’re not sure how to raise or a new contract with terms you don’t fully understand. Whatever the issue, you want someone in your corner who explains things plainly, tells you where you really stand, and helps you make the most of the position you’re in.

What sets me apart

I’m an employment lawyer who has also run the business. And this is what makes the difference: I've sat on the other side of the table. As a former General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer, I understand how employers approach these situations, what they weigh up, and how decisions get made. That perspective helps me give you clear, realistic advice about where you stand and what your options are, and to put your case effectively when it matters.

How I help

You get a qualified and experienced employment solicitor to explain your position in plain English, set out your options and what each one means, and to negotiate or represent you, keeping you informed and clear on any cost at every step.

  • Reviewing the agreement, explaining its terms and their effect, advising on whether what's offered is fair, and negotiating improvements where there's scope. I provide the independent advice you need before you sign, usually at no cost to you.

  • Advising on whether a fair process has been followed and what claims you may have, and setting out your options, from raising the issue internally to negotiating an exit or bringing a claim.

  • Helping you raise concerns clearly and constructively, advising on the process and your rights, and supporting you through it towards a sensible resolution.

  • Advising on, and where you'd like negotiating, the terms of your departure including payment, notice, reference and timing, to help you leave on the best terms realistically available.

  • Clear, careful advice on sensitive situations, helping you understand whether what has happened may be unlawful, what evidence matters, and the options open to you.

  • Reviewing employment contracts and offers before you sign, and explaining what you're agreeing to and where there may be room to negotiate.

  • Where a claim is the right route, advising on the merits, likely cost and process, guiding you through ACAS Early Conciliation, and representing you towards a settlement or hearing.
