Employment law

At a time when I was feeling very anxious and required professional help, I was recommended this company by a friend.
Eleanor Parkes at the St. Albans office was assigned to my case and she put me at ease after our first meeting. I felt confident in her abilities straight away, my case was to do with employment law and Eleanor’s contribution helped to achieve a very positive impact and would not hesitate in recommending this firm to anyone who needs help and advice on a specialist area.

Theo provides a great service. He is knowledgeable, efficient and takes time to explain, what can be, quite complex and emotional matters. Highly recommended.

Buying and selling your home

Our case was extremely complex, and Samuel, Natalie and Ruth worked tirelessly to ensure the transaction was completed on time.

There were numerous factors adding to the complexity of the transaction, but never once did they back down from the task at hand.

I'd like to thank them all for their hard work and for ensuring the transaction completely succesfully.
