I have worked with Head of Employment Law Emily Yeardley on domestic and international challenges, and her advice, approach, and tenacity are first class. Having spent my career advising multi-nationals for more than 25 years, I recommend Emily unreservedly as one of the most consummate and trustworthy professionals I’ve had the pleasure to encounter.

Settlement Agreement
Emily was referred to me by a shared contact to support with a Settlement Agreement. It was the first time I had been engaged in such a dialogue and Emily’s clear and transparent communication was super helpful. Breaking down legal jargon and explaining what each component meant as well as discussing pros cons with regards to next steps and feedback from the employers solicitor was also incredibly helpful.

Employment advice
Emily was recommended by a friend to provide legal advice in relation to a settlement agreement. Throughout the process Emily guided me through the details to ensure my understanding, and was always quick to respond to queries. She was also particularly empathetic to my personal situation and provided clear guidance on the options available. I am pleased to say we reached a successful conclusion and I would have no hesitation in recommending Emily to friends and family for employment advice.

Personable, Knowledgable & professional
Emily was anazing, I was not in a good place and suffering with extreme burnout. Emily talked me through my options from a legal perspective and protected me for having to deal with my employer which was causing additional anxiety, I would highly recommend Emily, her knowledge of employment law is second to none and she is calm and personable,

Excellent and extremely supportive solicitors
Emily and Michelle came to the rescue at a time when I really needed help (and urgently). During an extremely stressful and upsetting few months things took a turn for the worse and I got in touch with the only people I could think of - Michelle and Emily. They were both incredibly supportive, efficient and extremely professional. I felt my concerns were heard, they were empathetic and as a result, my corner was fought. No one wants to experience issues with their employer or have to raise formal grievances, but if you are having a tough time, these are the best solicitors to go to for that support. They made the process effortless, gave me constant reassurance and guidance. As a result, I was able to regain my confidence and move on and I am forever grateful for their support. Thank you!

Couchman Hanson Solicitors - Excellent Legal Service!
We had an amazing experience with Couchman Hanson Solicitors. Emily Yeardley and Mr. Daniel Couchman handled our case professionally and achieved an outstanding result. Emily Yeardley handled our case mostly and we are thankful for her expertise. She answered all our questions with great clarity and patience and kept us informed every step of the way. Emily was very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy. She negotiated a very advantageous out-of-court settlement for us, avoiding a long and costly trial. Her negotiating skills are impressive. We are profoundly grateful for their services and we would highly recommend Emily Yeardley and Daniel Couchman to anyone seeking legal services in corporate cases.
