Testimonials

I had a great response to my initial phone request with a phone consultation and then in-person meeting happening very rapidly which was extremely comforting. Jon ensured I was informed of my rights and supported me through discussions with my former employer.
I would thoroughly recommend this company and will be sure to request their support for any future legal advice/service I require.

This is a First Class Service. The professionalism and knowledge of Jon Dunkley was absolutely amazing. Felt supported and in very good hands. I would definitely recommend and work with Wollens again if needed.

Wollens have become the preferred legal team for myself and my companies, and Challenges Property Ltd.

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.
