Ruth Neil
I specialize in all aspect of employment law for both employers and employees, which gives me a good insight into the other sides strategy. I have undertaken many claims in the employment tribunal for unfair dismissal, constructive dimissal and discrimination, including bonus and commission disputes. I have also added value for my clients in negotiating suitable compromise agreements particularly for senior executives. In addition I undertake High Court work on injunctions, confidential information and restrictive covenants for my clients. For my business clients, I provide training, employment contract, employment handbooks and related documents. I always tell my clients it is the money not the principle and I see my role as helping you to obtain your objectives for the least cost. The lawyer and their client should be a partnership so it is important that I ensure you understand the issues and practicalities quickly so we can work together to achieve the right result. |

James Leo
James and his team are able to draft contracts of employment, grievance and disciplinary procedures, employee handbooks and compromise agreements. We can advise on the appropriate procedures to be adopted should a redundancy situation or other dismissal of employees arise. We can advise on the best methods of handling disciplinary and grievance procedures, including drafting the letters you will need to send to employees at each stage of the procedure. If matters cannot be resolved then you may be pursued in an Employment Tribunal or the Court. We can represent you for claims for unfair or wrongful dismissal, breach of contract, allegations of discrimination or breach of statutory rights. We can also assist you in recovering any losses you incur as a result of an employee's breach of contract which often occurs when an employee or ex-employee breach the restrictive covenants in their contract of employment. |

I have 16 years experience of fighting for fair compensation for the victims of accidents. If you would like an immediate free assessment of your claim you can call me 0121 355 0011. Clients I have helped range from people injured in road traffic accidents to victims of the Hillsborough disaster. I act mainly for claimants but I have acted for insurers so you could say I am a poacher turned gamekeeper. I know the tactics used by insurers so I can get the best results for my clients. I have also won cases for people injured because of clinical negligence, defective products, accidents abroad and undertaking sporting pastimes such as trampolining. |

Geoff Wood
Alongside property matters, Geoff and his team have a considerable family and matrimonial law expertise. It is an unfortunate fact of life that not all marriages are successful. When a relationship breaks down it is not unusual for one or both parties to seek to dissolve the marriage or to obtain a formal decree of judicial separation. A fair division of the family assets, including the matrimonial home must be worked out. In the majority of cases this is achieved by negotiation by your solicitor and agreement between the parties. We emphasise negotiation and agreement rather than conflict and confrontation in the application of the principles of matrimonial law to the special circumstances of each individual case. |

Andrew Piddock
Being looked after by relatives or friends is much easier if you have a Lasting Power of Attorney. Without one they will be unable to help if they lose mental competence because then your affairs must be administered by the State. To avoid fraud these are now more complex to complete but still vital. Let me assist in arranging one for you. Dealing with the death of a family or friend it is important to those who are left behind that the estate is administered with sympathy as well as with efficiency and experience. It involves obtaining valuations of all of the assets of the estate, agreeing the tax liability, applying for the Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration in the event that there is no will) and then with the benefit of that Grant gathering in the assets of the estate and administering them accord to the will or according to law as the case may be. In many cases, a trust may arise under the provisions of a will or an intestacy and that trust could last for many years. It will normally require the sensitive advice and assistance of your solicitor to ensure you receive the best advice. |
