Employment

Under normal circumstances, the service we receive from Leathes Prior is always efficient and top class, however your timely responses and insightful advice as have grappled with furloughing as well as the on-going business as usual demands (ETs / Good Work Plan / Holiday Pay / GDPR to name but a few !), have been particularly appreciated in these surreal times, especially as I know you will have been dealing with an unprecedented number of queries from all your clients. So a huge thank-you on behalf of the Board and specifically from my team with whom you have shown inordinate patience !

Working with Leathes Prior is an absolute joy. They are small enough to deliver personal service but large enough to have a team of lawyers with experience and well connected enough to help us network around the business community. Their seminars are always very informative and not at all dull or crusty! Employmentor is an excellent service that puts clients in direct contact with lawyers at the top of their game. I’m so glad OPEN Norwich made the switch.

I love you guys! You’re so can do. Thanks for your help, as I said before, you guys rock!

You really are the best – so thanks for all your support this year – you have simply been the best with my young directors, holding their hands at every turn. You are almost one of the team!!

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you again for the high standard of service that we received from you. I found your advice to be very clear, useful and prompt which made a real difference in what was a very stressful and difficult situation. I am very happy with how the matter was dealt with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leathes Prior, and yourself in particular, to others. Thanks also to Coco who assisted you.

I really do appreciate your support and advice during what has been a very unsettling and stressful time. Having you there beside me has been a massive boost in helping me to see through what seemed a pretty thick fog at times

Firstly, we are very grateful for Dan representing us on Thursday. You saved us extra legal costs and were very helpful in briefing us on the subtle distinctions in considering last minute options. I could almost hear your mind impressively whirring. It would have been very easy to have launched us into battle, having done all your expert preparation, especially at the twelfth hour with us all fired up, chomping at the bit. Restraint doesn't come easily to me. With your expert guidance, we made the right decision. Tricky to accept at the time but I'm reminded whatever the issue, usually the hardest option is best. Ours sincere thanks also to Sarah for her diligence and hard work behind the scenes. She is clearly a very talented asset to the number one law firm in the County.
