Thank you!
Carol was just the person to handle my whistle blowing exit payment from a company that is outwardly a national trusted brand. She had the diplomacy, pragmatism and empathy to help reduce the stress of the situation. She offered prompt turnaround, a fixed fee and also got her costs paid by the employer. Importantly she achieved very significantly more than the settlement offer and patiently dealt with the recurring mistakes of the employer. Highly recommended. I thank you Carol.

Employment termination contract
Carol provided very helpful advice when I was negotiating my departure from my employer. She was clear, professional, and responsive throughout the process. Her guidance and knowledge gave me the confidence to navigate a difficult situation, and she ensured that my interests were well protected.

Efficiency plus
Carol and her team handled my affairs with the utmost respect and efficiency. Their patience was admirable when problems became apparent and everything was concluded, in a professional manner, to my satisfaction. The communication was clear, concise and friendly but never patronising for which I am extremely grateful. I would heartily recommend this firm and would like to thank them again for all their help.

Immediate calm from being stressed and confused
L'wren (and Carol) were able to keep me calm and explain things in a way I could understand in regards to a massive injustice at my former workplace. They were able to take me through step by step in a settlement claim and advised me of all my options. I would highly recommend. I hope to never use a solicitor again but if I do I would call Sketchleys first. THANK YOU
