    Testimonials

    • I am immensely grateful to David at Capital Law for his exceptional support during my redundancy process. His expert knowledge in employment law, coupled with a compassionate approach, made a potentially challenging time much more enjoyable. David provided clear, practical advice and was always available to answer my questions, ensuring I felt confident and well-represented throughout. I highly recommend him and Capital Law to anyone in need of dedicated and professional employment law services.

    • Probably the most useful professional training I’ve ever been to – not an exaggeration. We need this kind of practical information. You’ve hit the spot!

      Sarah McGuiness, Ysgol Gymraeg y Fenni

    • I just wanted to thank you for the tremendous win you achieved for Dr Ranson recently.

      I am incredibly grateful for the work you did, picking this case up at short notice, and over Christmas, and turning it around in short order to achieve the most high-profile whistleblower win the BMA has secured in many years, and perhaps ever.

      We owe you a huge debt of gratitude, of that I am certain.

      Gareth Williams | Legal Director | BMA

    • I would like to say how grateful I am to Capital Law for helping me achieve the desired outcome in my constructive unfair dismissal claim against my previous employer. Nina is an excellent communicator and the deadlines for each aspect of the process were clearly laid out from the start. I really felt that Nina was my advocate as she had a clear grasp on what had happened to me. I was very impressed with Nina’s attention to detail throughout and how readily available she was to discuss issues by email and telephone. I would like to thank Nina for her hard work and professionalism, which ultimately achieved a settlement that I was happy with.

    • Mary Goldsbrough has advised Remploy Limited on a range of issues of employment law, including in relation to TUPE and its effect on contracts that we have successfully tendered for. Mary’s awareness of our business means that she can suggest practical workable solutions to issues as they arise. Her advice is clear and easy to understand.
