Employment

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!!

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.
