I got in touch with Pure because of their focus on employment law, and was quickly contacted in return by Elena Elsam. Elena has been kind, helpful, thorough, patient and unfailingly professional throughout our correspondence and I would not hesitate to recommend her and Pure Employment Law. Thank you so much for all your help.

I found Pure employment law using Google. My contact was David Jones, he is a calm, well spoken man who explained everything clearly. He has an excellent eye for detail and kept me informed the whole time. He responded swiftly to my concerns and everything was dealt with super efficiency. I would highly recommend him. Many thanks David and Pure employment law.

Elena Elsam, senior solicitor took on an employment dispute case for me and steered me very professionally through the whole process at a difficult time of the year with Christmas in between, she still managed to complete the process within the alloted timescale with a great result. I would highly recommend the services of Elena and Pure Employment.

I have worked with and known Pure for 5 years now. Both Peter Stevens and Pure put their clients at the forefront of their services, which makes me feel valued when discussing my needs. It is important for all businesses to have links to a professional and empathetic employment solicitors and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends, family and business contacts alike.

Nicola and Peter at Pure Employment Law have been providing us with advice and guidance for many years. We have learnt a great deal from their newsletter and seminars which have helped us to avoid many of the common HR pitfalls. When we have needed their formal advice, they have always supported us to bring about the resolution that we were hoping for – Pure Employment Law understand that as a small employer we would rather nip issues in the bud.

We have dealt with Nicola for a number of years and Peter for even longer and have always experienced a speedy reply to our requests for assistance. Their response is consistently pragmatic and thoroughly thought out, often including a much-needed tinge of humour and an acknowledgement that we are not the first of their clients to have need of their experience in solving this particular problem.
