Highly recommend Ian Hurst for employment matters
A friend highly recommended Ian Hurst for an employment matter. These things can be very stressful. Not so if you have Ian by your side. His very efficient, no BS, clear approach really helped and all was sorted in no time, in my and my employer's interest and with peace of mind. He was quick to respond and react, this despite the fact that my matter wasn't a big case for him. Highly recommend, will pass on his details to friends and family.

Employment settlement agreement
Duncan Lewis handled my settlement agreement between me and previous employer. It was my first time going through such a stressful process and Ian (DL solicitor who handled my case) was just brilliant. He was very helpful and patiently explained and answered all my questions and swiftly actioned any tasks, ultimately resulting in a successful and timely settlement between me and my employer. I would employ them again 100%.
10/10 on Satisfaction, effectiveness and smoothness.

Brilliant from start to finish
There are no words to express how grateful I am to have had Ian Hurst as representation. You never expect to need a solicitor and the thought of it genuinely scared me but Ian could not have been more reassuring. My case was distressing, but after our first conversation I felt completely safe. He was incredibly honest from start to finish, I felt completely heard. Ian went above and beyond, was meticulous in his work and easy to reach. His counsel was flawless and because of it, the result of my case far exceeded my expectations. I was glad he was on my side! I would use him for any future work and really want to express my gratitude. Thank you for being so brilliant, kind and considerate!
