“Astons Solicitors provided extremely valuable guidance in the interpretation and execution of a bespoke tailored Compromise Agreement (a veritable minefield for the uninitiated). Throughout, I found the service offered by the firm to be prompt, courteous and focused, commendable attributes which, to my mind, are in very short supply in this day and age. Of particular reassurance was the measured advice I received which enabled me to make decisions with enhanced clarity and rapidity.”

"Every time I have been asked for an employment lawyer recommendation, I have without hesitation given Astons' contact details. Robin and Edward 'held my hand' during the immediate aftermath of the credit crunch when we had to make redundancies. They very carefully guided me to ensure that we did everything in accordance with employment law and prevented us from making some very expensive mistakes. Since then, they have completely re-written our employment contracts and drafted our Employee and Management Handbooks. In essence Astons have become our HR department."

“The employment law advice and service I received from Astons Solicitors was always prompt and professional. Although I initially worked with Astons to prepare my case, because I was funded by my insurers I was forced to use their panel solicitors to issue proceedings. Once this had taken place it was an easy and quick process to return to Astons and still remain covered by my insurer. I am certain that the personal contact, support and interest I received from Astons Solicitors were fundamental to the eventual success of my case.

Now as a freelance HR Management Consultant I am able to approach Astons not only about Employment Law but I am comfortable seeking guidance on more general HR issues, knowing I will get sound practical advice."
