We asked recent clients what they thought of our service. All the responses were positive. Here is a representative sample:
"Thanks for all of your hard work. The fact that we have shed some 50 staff over the last year or so under varying circumstances and with no adverse legal consequences is testament to the quality of advice that you have given us all the way along."
- senior partner, law firm

“We have worked with Thom Young and Worklegal over a number of years. Thom always takes the time to understand not only the circumstances relating to a particular issue but more importantly how it affects our business. This approach is exactly what is required and is only possible because Thom has made the effort to get a complete understanding of our business, our people and the way we work. His advice is always professional and practical. I would not hesitate in recommending Worklegal."
- Senior partner of award winning Legal Firm

“It is important in today’s climate of increasing litigiousness that a company has reliable and probably more importantly practical, business based, legal advice from experienced professionals. For SME’s like ours this practical bias is particularly valuable. Worklegal gives us just that.”
- CEO of US owned manufacturing company

“We value the legal advice and direction Worklegal provides us with and the pragmatic approach adopted when dealing with pretty complex human resource matters. Worklegal took the time to understand our business, the working environment in our factory and the people we employ. Thom’s approach of combining concrete, commercial reality with a sound legal understanding compares very favourably with our previous experience of using a very large London firm – and his fees are significantly lower!"
- HR Director of manufacturing company

“I was supporting a Charity which unfortunately faced being wound up. There were many employee issues to deal with and Thom was recommended as a highly experienced and practical employment lawyer. We worked together for a number of months and I always found his advice to be sound. Fortunately for the employees and the clients, the Charity survived. Thom isn’t just an employment lawyer – he looks beyond the law to see what is best both for the organisation and the people within it. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Thom again."
- Director, HR Consultancy

“I would like to say how competent Worklegal were in dealing with a recent employment issue. We were continually updated on the progress of the case, we were given sound advice at every juncture, and all of our questions were patiently and professionally dealt with. The whole process was clearly explained and possible scenarios explored. Thom could not have been more helpful and there was a very successful outcome to the case. I would not hesitate to recommend Worklegal to other businesses.“
- MD of sports retail company

“Worklegal offered a professional, friendly and understanding approach to my Employment Tribunal Claim. Procedures were explained in an easy to understand manner. I felt supported at all times through the daunting process of the Tribunal itself. The professionalism and legal expertise which Thom Young portrayed throughout the whole case was pivotal in reaching a successful outcome.”
- Former MD of service company

"My experience of Worklegal, in relation to a resignation and compromise agreement, was that the legal jargon was interpreted for me in a simple and professional manner, which helped me enormously in translating to the more practical aspects of the transaction. The most enjoyable part of a tense and protracted negotiation was during a conference call when Thom Young, calmly and professionally, clarified a point of law to two solicitors from a top London legal firm, which helped secure our position and led directly to a satisfactory conclusion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Worklegal to carry out the specialism of employment law work"
- Former MD of wholesale company
