WHEN WORK DOESN'T FEEL FAIR, KNOW WHERE YOU STAND.

No.Everything you share with me is treated in the strictest confidence. I will never contact your employer or discuss your situation with anyone else without your explicit permission.Many of my clients speak to me before deciding what to do next because they want independent advice in a safe, confidential environment.

Not always.Many workplace situations can be managed without involving a solicitor immediately. In many cases, speaking to an experienced HR professional first helps you understand your options, prepare your approach, and decide whether legal advice is actually needed.If your situation would benefit from specialist legal advice, I'll tell you honestly and, if appropriate, introduce you to a trusted employment solicitor.

I recommend speaking to someone before signing anything.A settlement agreement is a legally binding document. Before you agree to it, it's important to understand exactly what you're accepting, whether anything can be negotiated, and whether the overall package is fair.I can help you understand what's being offered and prepare you before you seek independent legal advice.

I understand that workplace issues are often time-sensitive.I aim to offer Discovery Calls as quickly as possible, often within a few working days. If your situation is particularly urgent, let me know when you get in touch and I'll always do my best to accommodate you.

My role is to help you achieve the best possible outcome.Depending on your circumstances, this may include helping you develop a negotiation strategy, preparing written responses, reviewing correspondence, or coaching you before important meetings.In some situations, I may also support negotiations directly where appropriate. If legal representation is required, I'll explain this clearly and can work alongside your solicitor.

Most workplace disputes never reach an Employment Tribunal.Many situations are resolved through discussion, negotiation, consultation, or settlement before formal legal action becomes necessary.My aim is to help you understand your options early, strengthen your position, and work towards the best possible outcome. If tribunal proceedings become appropriate, I'll help you understand the process and support you in working with specialist legal advisers.

It's worth checking.Some home insurance policies, professional memberships, trade unions, and employee benefits include legal expenses cover without people realising.If legal support becomes necessary, I can help you understand what funding options may be available before you commit to paying privately.

That's exactly why I offer a free Discovery Call.You don't need to know what the solution is before you get in touch. We'll discuss what's happening, what you're hoping to achieve, and whether I'm the right person to support you.If I don't believe I'm the best person to help, I'll tell you honestly and, wherever possible, point you in the right direction.

That's absolutely fine.Some clients simply want an experienced sounding board before making an important decision. Others need support over several weeks or months.I'll recommend the level of support that fits your situation. There is never any obligation to continue beyond what you need.

Every case is different.Some situations can be resolved in a single strategy session. More complex matters, such as redundancy consultations, disciplinary processes, settlement negotiations, or grievances, often benefit from ongoing support.After our first conversation, I'll recommend the most appropriate level of support and provide clear pricing before any work begins.

No.Unlike an internal HR team, I work exclusively for you. My role is to help you understand your rights, prepare your strategy, and make informed decisions that are in your best interests.

Employment solicitors are essential when legal advice is needed, but many workplace issues involve practical strategy as much as legal rights.With over 20 years of senior HR experience, I can help you understand how workplace processes typically work, prepare for meetings, identify opportunities for negotiation and help you with this, and strengthen your position before legal advice is required. Where legal input is appropriate, I work alongside trusted employment solicitors to ensure you receive the right support at the right time.
