Contract Of Employment

While searching for a solicitor who dealt with employment law on line, the searches came up with Goodharts and a lot of the reviews mentioned Marie Colquhoun. I contacted them by telephone and Marie called me back the same day.
I outlined what l needed and Marie went through the process with me giving clear and professional advice. Marie’s communication was first class and she pushed for changes on my behalf. Would highly recommend as having Marie in your corner would make all the difference due to her great legal knowledge.

Amazing support

Marie went above and beyond to get me out of a really awful business-threatening situation. While I can't share the details publically, it was immensly reassuring to be on the side of common-sense.

Excellent service when in an employment bind

Marie represented me in a matter where I was being unfairly made redundant. Her expert advice, guidance and knowledge enabled me to negotiate from a position of strength and I was delighted with the eventual outcome

Exceptional Legal Support: A Beacon of Competence and Compassion

Marie's expertise and dedication truly made a difference in navigating my legal matter. Her brilliance shone through as she swiftly turned things around, providing steadfast support every step of the way. What truly set her apart was her ability to directly engage with the other party, effectively alleviating much of the stress that typically accompanies such situations. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Marie to anyone facing similar challenges. She's not just a solicitor; she's a beacon of competence and compassion in the legal realm.

Firstly, I called a few different solicitors after having some pretty stressful issues with my employer. The majority got back to me, however their paralegals were simply emailing me asking for a time/date appointment with the actual solicitor. Not Marie, she called me herself and took 30 minutes to understand my situation before moving forward.

During the process, she kept me informed and formed some very clear arguments aimed at my ex-employer (at the time!). There was above and beyond care and attention put into the documents she was drafting on my behalf, giving me options and allowing for my wants, regardless of whether they were constructive, in hindsight… it was comforting to be listened to.

Without her support I doubt the outcome that was achieved would have came to fruition, she fought my corner and really isnt scared of a legal-fight!

I’m glad I decided to call Goodharts that day and will pay for her services in a heart beat again should I need to.

A very productive service from the organisation and in particular my solicitor Marie who was very informative and helped me understand areas of uncertainty.
Was kept up to date throughout in a friendly and professional manner.

Would highly recommend Goodharts.

Thanks for everything.

I worked with Marie on the recommendation of a friend, whom she had also helped. She gave great counsel and the outcome of her efforts was much better than I could have hoped for. I won't hesitate to work with her again.

I found myself very suddenly and very unexpectedly in an extremely distressing and unpleasant situation with my employer. I really didn’t know where to turn. Luckily for me, I called Marie Colquhoun at Goodharts. She listened to my issues and despite my extremely distressed state she was a voice of calm, reassurance and clarity when I needed it most. Marie is as tenacious as she is professional. She guided me through the issues and fought my corner at a time when I wasn’t strong enough to. She knows the law inside out and won’t be intimidated or dismissed. Marie negotiated on my behalf and settled the case very quickly without the need to go to tribunal. She is a consummate professional and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone who is having employment law issues. Thanks to Marie both I and my family can now get on with the rest of our lives.
