Great open and honest communication with the administration and nominated legal support. Swift in responding to all queries. The requirements were closed out in very a timely manner.

I guess like most people you only need a solicitor in times of potential trouble, and whilst mine was employment law related, the team at Spencer Shaw were exceptional in meeting my needs and extreme timelines for completing documents. I cannot recommend the team there enough.

Thank you for your review Simon. It was a pleasure to work with you, and we wish you all the best in the future.

Anonymous,

I spoke with Ian about my case initially and felt I had to keep repeating myself as he seemed to have ‘forgotten’ information I had relayed prior. He also cut me off on many occasions which became frustrating as I was explaining crucial information. I did not feel like he was on my side acting in my best interests. Despite charging me his extortionate hourly rate I felt he was delaying things to extort further money from me and expressed a few times that he was ‘not an advisory service’. My confusion arises as are all solicitors within their field of practice not advisors?!
A representative from Spencer Shaw Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 15 May, 2025:
We are surprised to hear that you were dissatisfied, as you didn't raise any concerns or complaints with us during your matter or afterwards, either formally or informally. These are very strong allegations to make, which we believe are false and misrepresentative. We always represent our clients best interests, which sometimes means guiding the conversation to stay on topic and in budget. As a business we do charge for the work we do, but we have a bank of reliable, free charitable and government-run advisory services that we recommend to people looking for free advice. Given the strength of these allegations, we would expect that you would want us to hear and address your concerns. However, we have tried to contact you by phone and email but not had a response. Without using our proper complaints procedure, it is difficult to see how you would like us to resolve this.

Michael,

I recently needed legal assistance for a settlement agreement with my former employer. I found Spencer Shaw on Google, as I was looking for a local firm. I contacted them and everything went smoothly from the very first phone call. The matter was concluded within the required deadline, and I was regularly updated throughout.

Very impressed with service - from the moment I sent a message online the end to end process was incredibly swift, professional and with ease. Greeted with a phone call from the lovely Tashoi (Legal Assistant) who proceeded to keep me updated at each stage. Thank you to Nazia (Senior Solicitor) for the in-depth review and expert knowledge. Already recommended.

They were not only very competent, they were cool headed, calm and worked well with me as the client, litigation funders, and specialist counsel to succeed on all claims, with Award of costs and interest In ICC Arbitration. Their fees were competitive, transparent and well communicated.

I looked on Google for a local solicitor that specialised in Workplace Settlement Agreements. I found Spencer Shaw Solicitors and made a call. All I needed to do was explained to me on the initial call. The documents came through from HR and forwarded onto my solicitor. When it came to my appointment, my solicitor called on time and we went through the whole document I had received. My solicitor was very experienced in this field and I felt reassured that he knew what he was doing. Advice was given clearly and I understood all that was required of me. Signed documents the next day and the whole situation was completed by mid afternoon of the same day.
Thank you Ian.

Waste of time. Called me at a time I’d specifically told them I wasn’t available, then were dismissive, patronising and unhelpful. Asked me what I wanted out of the call - legal advice, obviously? But instead I was told to go away, gather more information (but no directions as to what information they specifically needed me to gather) and to call back once I’d done that. No, I will be calling a different solicitors instead, one who actually acts like they want my business.

Matthew
Collected on:
I had a concern about a employment contract I am presented with taking that is very different to how my working pattern is and therefore looks like it doesn't fit, it is a very confusing situation for me so I requested the professional advice of SSS Ltd.
After an initial discussion there was an issue which the Principle Solicitor understood and handled effectively and efficiently.
I was then given the time and attention to fully express my concerns and these were taken piece by piece so that I was clear on the issues relevant to my situation.
Many thanks to Ian for this clarity and taking the time to resolve this.

From first contact, through to completion, the company and its staff were very proactive and helpful.
Given the short timeline I had given them to work with, they managed to bring everything in on time and to my satisfaction.
Extremely professional company, from knowledge, and communications and I am pleased to have had them on my side.
