Commenting on the quality of Thomas Eggar’s employment advice, existing client, Liz Hutchinson, Head of Personnel at University College Chichester, said: The thing that sets Thomas Eggar apart from other legal advisers is the pragmatism of their approach, coupled with a detailed knowledge of employment law.
Thomas Eggar will also think from a tribunal point of view...and are very good at identifying and evaluating risks and deciding whether it would be better to settle with a compromise agreement.
This view is supported by Melanie Vongswang, General Manager - Human Resources at Solution 6, who commented: In my professional dealings with Thomas Eggar they were prompt, didn’t drown me in legal explanations and gave me the answer which was commercially appropriate. I also appreciate being able to discuss an issue with them on the phone without the feeling that the clock is automatically ticking!
Advice is provided by email, phone or a combination of both and firms can be charged on a monthly or annual basis, depending on individual cash flow needs.
