People can find the legal process frustrating: why does it take so much time and cost so much?
We offer our clients the chance to prepare the information and documents before we meet. This keeps costs down but it’s just as important to be ahead on the facts. In 2014, we only lost one case; all the others went the way our clients wanted. That’s probably largely because we had all the evidence at the beginning.
We hope you find our checklists helpful. They also contain some basic guidance so that we can all know what we are talking about. These checklists have been compiled with the help of leading barristers:
Jason Galbraith-Marten QC – ‘Employment Lawyer of the Year' – Banking
Jeffrey Jupp- a very thorough and effective advocate.
