Settlement Agreement
I required advice regarding a settlement agreement with my employer. The response via Bev to get things arranged was fast and within the week I’d received the advice and service I needed.
Chris Bell took his time to explain the legal jargon within the agreement and made the necessary changes. I did not feel rushed and any questions I had were dealt with - as a ‘lay person’ I felt assured that I understood what was being said.
My interactions with all at Latham’s was excellent - including being welcomed at reception.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
