We have had dealings with various departments within firm and have always found that from the first call or email our enquiries are dealt with in a professional and courteous manner with nothing ever feeling like a hassle.

Jon Dunkley leads the team. He has many years’ experience in employment law. He cuts through technicalities and provides commercial solutions. I particularly value his expertise on restrictive covenants.

Jon Dunkley has stood out for us. Having dealt with Mr Dunkley on a number of employment matters over the years, we feel he has taken the time to get to know our firm, and has always been able to make very complex matters come across as manageable.
