Customer Reviews
Thank you for everything and we are all relieved and very happy with the result and with the service you provided for us. Mr Weiss was fantastic and thank you for the support you both gave us through a very difficult time in our lives.
Many thanks for your time and patience in listening to me as well as your professionalism and swift dealing with my case.
We have been working with Jay Bhayani for the last 2 years and thinking back, I honestly don't know how we would have got through some of the employment challenges we have faced without her teams dedicated and knowledgeable support. They have always been on the other end of the phone and there has been no problem they haven't been able to advise us on and help us work through. They have given us the confidence to tackle challenging situations and also given us the knowledge to best support to our employees to have a positive employment experience within our organisation. I can't thank them enough!

Jay was really helpful and responsive to my requests. The work was done in the timescale I requested. Thanks for your help!
First class professional solicitor, straight to the point and honest as well as being empathetic to your circumstances. Would definitely recommend Jay to anyone having issues relating to their employment.
Jay and her team as a pleasure to deal with. They understand the legal technicalities but make it all plain and simple for the client. We have taken the Watertight package which gives great value, piece of mind and quality support by phone or in person whenever we need it, which is essential to a growing business like ours.
Jay is an employment law expert, who doesn't talk like one; she explains the complexities in the simplest terms. This made understanding the legal procedures I was embarking on (voluntary redundancy) easy to understand.
Jay is an expert on employment law and her service is reliable and professional. But she also goes that extra step to make it personal too.
What seemed like a minefield for me was made very simple by Jay's professional approach to my problem. In just a few letters, Jay settled my dispute by removing the emotion and sticking to the facts and the law that supported my case. I was very happy that I was able to move on quickly in to my next venture with all loose end completely tied up and with parties having reached a, more than satisfactory outcome. I am very grateful for Jay's personal and empathetic service.
Our organisation has used Jay for HR advice for a number of years, she always gives sound, professional advice that is easy to follow. She listens to the problem and makes suggestions as to how we might want to approach the issue. I have also attended a number of the HR forums that Jay runs for the charitable sector in the city Ð these have been interesting and useful as well as enjoyable and a good opportunity to network with other people doing a similar job to myself.
Jay was very professional and yet personable. She was very interested in me and my business. Everything was explained in a way I understood. Jay was very caring and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. She was always contactable. I always recommend Jay to friends and family.
