Employment Appeal Tribunal Report

Employment disputes are not uncommon and if agreement cannot be reached between solicitors it may be necessary for the employee to apply to the Employment Tribunal (ET) for resolution of a dispute.

Employment Law Report

Our solicitors specialise in all aspects of employment law. They deal with consent-based financial settlements and Employment Tribunal applications for compensation for unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, redundancy, harassment, victimisation and racial, sexual, disability, age and religious discrimination.

Redundancy Report

Our litigation solicitors are experienced in all matters involving employment law, including helping employees to make accurate redundancy pay calculations. Our employment solicitors will either begin negotiations on your behalf concerning possible compensation or, when necessary will make applications for dispute resolution on the amount of redundancy payment to the Employment Tribunal.

Unfair Dismissal Report

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the termination, the employer is always required to be both fair and reasonable. For example, an employer is well advised to issue warnings about unacceptable behaviour and give the employee a chance to rectify the situation before moving forward with termination which may otherwise be determined by the Employment Tribunal to be an unfair dismissal.

I have used the same solicitor for over 30 years, but for this particular house sale we used Nicola at Barnes and Partners Chingford branch as we were selling my mum's house and wanted someone local to her. I have been so impressed that I have already decided to transfer all of our future business to Nicola permanently. Nicola was always available and guided us through a particularly difficult hitch towards the end of the sale. She was reassuring and professional and always on top of our case. We were very happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Would not go with Barnes & Partners Solicitors again - sold house 3 months late. They asked inappropriate questions which had nothing to do with their job (Peter). Nicola never kept us in the loop about anything. If we could give zero stars, we would.

Report

I would give 10 out of 5 if I could. Nicola has been regularly going way above and beyond what is required. We had a very complicated exchange because of the solicitors on both ends of the chain. Both the sellers and buyers solicitors were not great, constantly delaying things and not getting things done. This made it even harder for Nicola, however she continued to persevere and never even flinched in her dedication to help us get it over the line. Nicola was always available to talk to us on the phone and at points several times in a day to help keep us reassured, this is certainly not common practice as most solicitors I have historically dealt with leave you to speak with the paralegals.

When the other solicitors in our chain were not doing what was required, she had a very positive attitude and where she could, she just got things done to speed up the process and where she could not she regularly chased the relevant people to ensure they acted as quickly and concisely as possible. There is not a single thing more that I could have asked Nicola to do more or better. I would recommend Nicola highly

If I could give less than one stars I would! It is now September and since June if not earlier I have been waiting for conveyance to be done. I was told that it would be done this week and I was just found out the solicitor is now on holiday. Barnes & Partners Chingford is the worst solicitors I have ever had the horror and dismay of meeting, I will never use them again and I hope you don't. BEWARE!

I found Nicola to be both professional and helpful with queries that I raised. I would recommend Barnes and Partners Chingford.
