An amazing team, helping me with everything I needed and letting me ask as many questions to fully understand. Nikki & Ruth at Northampton were amazing. Jessica at Higham Ferrers recommended Wilson Browne to me and I’m so glad I went with them. Thank you everyone.

On behalf of CIPD Northants Branch, thank you so much for a really useful and topical event. Great content and no nonsense advice from Jennie Jahina and Imran Ilias. We could’ve been there for another hour with the discussions this generated!

At a time when I needed good honest advice, Wilson Browne staff delivered it with transparency and integrity. All staff were very helpful and appeared to fully understand the predicament that I was in and showed compassion in their messages via email. They have even confirmed to refund some money that they felt was not used due to the potential of a failed appeal at an EAT. I will use them again if I had to and will recommend them to family and friends. It is all too easy to lay blame at Solicitors doors often when things don't go the way we hope for in employment matters and I wish that I had the funds for W/Browne to have represented me at the ET which I am sure would have resulted in a more positive outcome

1st class advice and professionalism from start to finish… I needed advice regarding my redundancy and settlement agreement which Jennie Jahina of Wilson Browne not only worked with me on to a tight timeline, but her attention to detail and relaying of the intricacies of the agreement were second to none and completely settled and alleviated any and all of the queries I had. This in turn resulted in a very swift resolution to a stressful situation… I cannot thank her enough or recommend more highly!

I approached Jennie for her guidance, and without doubt, Jennie allowed and supported me on the following: to focus on my day to day business during the case; regular updates on the case progression; supportive; provided direction in the short to long term; exceptional focus on the detail of the transcript. Jennie provided support, guidance, and resolution and was of the highest of standards for which we are truly grateful. I cannot recommend highly enough for the support, actions and results delivered.

Dealing with Wilson Browne Solicitors was an absolute pleasure. From my very first consultation, the level of attention to detail to my unique and specific needs was impressive. The solicitor reviewing my case went above and beyond, even seeking external resources for second opinions on matters that were not standard procedure. I was extremely satisfied with the communication, approach, friendliness, and straight-forwardness of this entire process. I highly recommend Wilson Browne Solicitors.
