”I could not have hoped for better assistance and expertise in resolving the recent issue around my employment than I received from Partners Employment Lawyers. In a very stressful and unfamiliar situation for me, I was extremely grateful that Partners Employment Lawyers understood my situation quickly and perceptively, and then worked hard to secure for me the outcome that I desired.
The firm displayed a level of professionalism and sensitivity to my personal situation that I appreciated and will not forget. At all times the lawyers were mindful of the result I desired. As the matter progressed they explained to me clearly and in balanced terms the likelihood of achieving that outcome. I appreciated Partners Employment Lawyers also giving me thoughtful advice on other, broader points relevant to my future employment, which I now understand it was important to make clear as part of a successful outcome. Without reminding me of these, my longer-term interests, I could easily have thought about only the immediate problem at hand, which I now see would have been ultimately to my detriment.
Partners Employment Lawyers spoke with me from a more holistic perspective on my employment future than I was able to take, which this was an immense benefit to me. Giving me a calm and encompassing perspective at such moments was, itself, an immense relief to me, as was simply having someone on my side”.

”I am very happy with the way David Woodward from Partners Employment Lawyers handled my employment matter.
On my first visit I was made welcome and put at ease. The whole experience was incredibly stressful and upsetting and David definitely eased those feelings and had patience explaining things that I didn’t completely understand. I was kept up to date with all that was going on. Having someone on the end of the phone that I could speak to, and explain things clearly to me, was very reassuring. My company was a large international company who could be very intimidating but David was not dupe by their tactics and it was great to have David on my side to negotiate the settlement.
It clearly came across during the negotiations that David doesn’t just want a result, but the best possible result. David would keep pushing and pushing until we got what we wanted. Even after the amount to be paid to me was agreed, David then pushed and succeeded in achieving more favorable terms and higher level of settlement than I had expected. His communication was excellent, he was always very receptive to my calls and concerns. Every time there was correspondence he would either call or email giving a detailed explanation and would ask how I would like to proceed.
I found David to be an exceptionally intelligent, meticulous and compassionate individual. I felt he understood me and sympathized with my case. I could not be happier to have had the matter resolved in such a brilliant way and without the need to go to tribunal. I would genuinely recommend Partners Employment Lawyers and David to anyone who may be in a spot of bother with their employer”.

“Hina and Remziye recently delivered employment law sessions to our London management team which focused on a range of key employment law issues. Feedback was that the sessions were excellent, informative and well presented. They discussed not only actual case law but also advised on company-relevant scenarios, based on their knowledge of our internal policies and procedures.”

“Thank you for your hard work, persistent and diligent efforts over the last few months in bringing this case to resolution.
I do not believe that we would have been able to resolve this matter without your involvement as legal advisor.
Great work and successful outcome.”

“Employment Law Seminar 6th March 2014 – The two lady speakers were great. It was really helpful having questions from the floor and they both provided really helpful case studies of the recent cases they worked on. Overall to cram all that information in just two hours, it was a good event and would like to attend more!”

“Partners came on site to deliver a session on managing redundancies…their delivery was clear and was easily understood – there was certainly no confusing legal speak or jargon that we had to get our heads around. Partners are highly recommended”
Company Training Client
“I was extremely pleased with how Remziye handled my case, a difficult and delicate dispute with my employers. I found her to be professional, courteous and understanding of my situation. My case got resolved very quickly with the end-result exceeding my expectations.
I am very grateful to Remziye for all her help and would not hesitate to recommend Remziye to my friends and family.”
Individual Client
“I would like to acknowledge and appreciate the role that Partners Employment Lawyers and in particular Remziye Ozcan, played in securing a Settlement Agreement with my former employer.
Remziye was very helpful in clarifying my legal position in the debate with my employer over redeployment vs. retirement vs. redundancy. Even though we work on opposite sides of the world and in different time zones, she always responded to my queries, quickly absorbed the volumes of data on company policy and procedures which I sent her and promptly provided me sound practical advice to help achieve my objective. The whole tone of the conversation changed when my employer recognized that I had engaged professional outside help and there is no doubt in my mind that without the intervention of Partners Employment Lawyers, the debate would have been more protracted and likely more contentious.
Their charges were very reasonable and in any event the cost is more than covered by the outcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending Partners Employment Lawyers to any employee who found him or herself in a similar position.”
Individual Client
“I would like to thank you for the way in which you handled my employment matters. The whole team at Partners were at all times professional, compassionate and kept me fully informed at every stage in particular Remziye helped me through a situation that I found very difficult and stressfull and I cannot thank her enough, I would highly recommend Partners Services.”
Individual Client

“Hina, thank you very much for yesterday’s employment law seminar, it was extremely informative, skilfully presented in a professional and ‘HR friendly’ manner.
Feedback from our Employment Law Seminar, 23rd May 2013:
I was particularly impressed by you and your team as all of you communicated your respective knowledgeable and experience in a pragmatic way, which, in my personal experience is not always the case. I have attended other legal firm’s seminars and although the content is usually good it is frequently presented using too much ‘lawyer speak’, often assuming the very worst outcome including extreme escalated litigation, which for the majority of cases is not the most likely outcome. I realise that we as HR practitioners, need to be aware of worst case scenarios but sometimes there is too much emphasis on this. “
Suzanne Prince, HR Contractor
