Employment Law 5* service. I have recently needed expert advice and guidance, of an employment law solicitor, and I'm so glad that I contacted Gorvins. I was greeted very warmly, and professionally, by the legal secretary Lea. within 5 minutes of explaining my predicament, I was appointed a solicitor. I'd like to say, that I continued to receive 5*service from that moment on. Natalia Frize took my case on, and explained everything to me in layman's terms. My case will be closed within 10 days of contacting Gorvins. I would ask Natalia to represent me again, if needed, in a heartbeat. Should you need an Employment Law Solicitor, I whole heartedly, recommend that you give them a call.

Employment tribunal help I was referred to David Rogers at Gorvins when I was stuck for someone to go over my paperwork for my preliminary hearing. I had already paid another law firm quite a bit of money, but the judge contradicted everything that this lawyer had advised. As a result I got in touch with David who took on my case and we managed to reach a settlement prior to the Preliminary hearing. I would highly recommend David and Gorvins as it felt like a weight had been lifted handing this to seasoned professionals and it took the stress out of the process.

Great Service. I can rely on Gorvins to be responsive, caring and always act in my best interest. I highly recommend them for a swift resolution.

Amazing Service! I have an unseen disability and felt that I was discriminated against at work I did everything correct and did not breach any law or policy. The way I was treated by my employer made me feel very depressed and extremely anxious and I do not cope very well with any type of conflict. I really needed some legal advice; I was becoming overwhelmed and needed someone just to take over and understand that I needed to feel safe and not judged. I have no legal experience and I have never been in this position before or have I ever used a legal service. I did my research, I looked at reviews and discovered Gorvins! I was contacted by Amanda Isherwood - Senior Associate and that initial phone call I will never forget, the instant relief I was listened too, and my journey began. Amanda was patient with my fast talking, I often will go off subject and was on occasions depressed, I would make random decisions without any consultation and Amada worked around how I am as person with my unseen disability. Amanda was very professional with a good level of emotional intelligence, communicated effectively, knowledgeable, and very focused whilst making me feel valued ensuring that all costs and possible outcomes with risks were discussed and understood. I got a positive outcome for injury to feeling and have no regrets paying for the service, I will never forget the feeling of justice! I would also like to thank Lea Mansfield – Secretary who also was lovely and supportive especially dealing with my anxieties via email or phone calls. Thank you, Amanda, Gorvins have definitely made the right decision with employing you, and if you ever require and educational talk on unseen disabilities for you and your colleagues please contact me.

I recently acquired the services of Gorvins solicitors (through recommendation from friends) to help with negotiations on my redundancy settlement agreement. Solicitor David Rogers was my representative. David was excellent all throughout the negotiation process, providing me with the right guidance and intel to make the correct decisions. The negotiations were challenging as my employers were based in Belgium but David dealt with the communications professionally in a concise and clear manner with solid evidence to back up the case. He was very attentive to detail and illustrated that he could adapt easily to negotiations with employers of differing work culture, language and employment law understanding. I was able to build a trusting relationship with David right from the start. He is very approachable, explained things in detail, gave you space to think about his suggestions and always got back to me in a timely manner. I would highly recommend David to any future client.

From the initial call Matthew instilled a great degree of confidence in his ability to deliver a fair compensatory award in my settlement agreement. Taking on a PLC didn't phase him in the slightest, even negotiating an increase in employer contribution to ensure I wasn't left out of pocket. Matthew was responsive, diligent and tenacious in his approach whilst handling my grievances with compassion and empathy. A true professional that will go far in his field.

The employment law team were excellent, approachable and had a full understanding of our situation as cancer patients and carers.
