I recently decided to leave my company to take early retirement. As such, I agreed with my HR Director a settlement agreement which would facilitate my exit in a mutually beneficial way. This was highly confidential and backed up with a very ‘wordy’ document from our legal department. At that stage I realised that I needed an employment lawyer, which was a move also strongly encouraged by my company.
I went with Thomas Mansfield solicitors and our lawyer; Julie Goodway was extremely efficient, professional, and hard working. The whole process was very smooth and timely, and concluded without any issues. Julie is super smart and good at her job, whilst at the same time being very warm, friendly and helpful. Whatever your legal needs, big or small, she will walk you through the process, offering proper and ‘real’ advice, and always working in your best interest. Moreover, Julie ensures that your time is maximised and that her fee is realistic and manageable.
Thank you, Julie, for offering me a great service, you are a true asset to Thomas Mansfield, and I cannot recommend you highly enough.

Julie talked me through a work contract that I needed to sign. It was extremely helpful to have every point explained verbally and in a language I understood as legal matters do tend to use terminology that's not always easy to understand.
Her approach was friendly and professional and I would definitely recommend her.

I can’t recommend Julie Goodway enough!
She explained my settlement agreement in the simplest terms, made amendments in my favour & negotiated an increased settlement that will give me greater stability & financial freedom this year. So happy I chose to work with her!
To add, she also responded extremely promptly & communication was always clear & easy. She made the whole process completely painless!

Efficient, pragmatic and supportive employment lawyer
I recently worked with Julie Goodway, a Partner in the Employment team at Thomas Mansfield and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Julie was everything you want in an employment solicitor:
Highly efficient & proactive: She responded quickly to every request and took the initiative throughout the process. Her proactive approach meant nothing was overlooked.
Clear and accessible advice: Julie explained complex legal terms in a way that made perfect sense—no jargon, just straightforward guidance.
Pragmatic problem-solver: She focused on practical outcomes and steered negotiations with clarity and calm.
Sensitive and empathetic: Going through employment law issues can be stressful, but Julie’s supportive tone made the process much more manageable.
Exceptional follow‑through: Everything was wrapped up promptly, and she kept me well informed, so I always felt in control.
If you need an employment lawyer who combines top-tier legal expertise with warmth, clarity, and pragmatism—look no further.

Can't recommend Julie Goodway highly enough
Julie was brilliant. Right from the beginning, Julie was very responsive and informative. I felt she was sensitive to the matter and very patient with me. Her support team were equally fantastic in providing me with documents and carrying out the ID checks. Thank you Julie!
This was all done and tied up within 3 days - and might have been shorter if it wasn't for me requesting specific things.
