What our clients say

We have a long list of loyal clients and here is a selection of what they have to say :

"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."

"I have worked with Edward, Robin and the team at Astons for almost 2 years, and I cannot speak more highly of them.  The main thing for me is that they understand my business and can therefore understand all the little nuances which come with it.  They are pragmatic in their approach and always offer advice and guidance in a straight-forward and non-solicitor manner, which makes it easy to relay to my General Managers who are often on the front line dealing with complex issues.  I would certainly recommend Astons to anyone looking for an employment solicitor"

“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.”
