One honest note
I'm an Employee Relations specialist, not a solicitor. If you're facing a genuine legal emergency, a live tribunal deadline or need legal representation, that needs an employment solicitor, and I'll point you to one I trust. For the practical, commercial side of handling the situation, that's exactly what I do.
Don't sit on it. A quick message now saves a mess later.
Tell me what is going on and I will give you a straight steer. No obligation and no sales pitch.
