‘I worked with Charlie Thompson. His advice was always given in a thoughtful, collaborative and thoroughly professional way. In what were incredibly emotive and sensitive areas he was empathetic and made himself readily available at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and the practice.’
‘My case was handled really well and the service was excellent. Within a very short period of time Joe Lappin had read through the docs and got back to me out of hours to go through the main talking points. This in-person help was excellent, especially for something that feels like it could be a huge deal.’
‘Joe Lappin breaks things down to the simplest form so people who are inexperienced in the field can easily understand. The speed of turnaround on questions was excellent. When he was not available I was dealt with professionally by his colleagues.’

‘Joe Lappin is an excellent partner. His tactical nous sets him apart, as well as the ease with which he deals with clients. He is someone I have (and will continue to) recommended to clients who need a solicitor.’
‘Charlie Thompson is clever, dynamic, creative and hard-working. He grasps the key points of a case quickly, gets to the nub of the matter and works out the best way to get from A to B as effectively as possible. He is entirely comfortable with complex legal questions, but also a supremely pragmatic and effective negotiator, with a firm grasp of the commercial realities of a situation, and how to negotiate the best outcome for his client. I would unhesitatingly recommend him to a friend who needed employment advice.’
