I would highly recommend partner Sarah Power as she was excellent at providing support and advice throughout child custody and financial settlement matters. Sarah is very clear with her advice and was able to deal with a range of complex and challenging issues that were specific to my case.
Ms H
There aren’t enough words to express the gratitude I have for you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all the work you have done, to finally get the outcome we deserve, which we would never have got it if wasn’t for you and your team and the dedication you put into our case.

Partner Sarah Power is outstanding. Sarah takes her job very seriously and is great at making the client feel comfortable in what is inevitably a highly emotional area of law (e.g Children Act Matters). Sarah goes above and beyond what any client would expect from a solicitor

Thank you Chadwick Lawrence for helping me through a very difficult stressful time (relationship separation). I couldn’t have resolved this without your expertise and professionalism. The outcome has been positive and I am now able to continue with my life that was on hold for many years.
I had free consultations with many solicitors prior to Chadwick Lawrence and found that they didn’t show the same compassion and understanding. I would recommend and if needed in the future I will use again.

I had a long standing matrimonial issue to sort out last year, and used Harjit at Chadwick Lawrence. She was thorough, determined, methodical and above all empathetic. She handled a difficult situation superbly and whilst I hope I never need to use her again, I would recommend her!

I want to pass over our thanks and to say well done on the success of our case – it was handled in a very professional manner. We were kept up to date at all times with correspondence and advice. We found Simon Ingham in the Litigation, Resolution & Recovery department to be very approachable.
Our appointed Barrister also gave an excellent argument for our case.
Thanks again to the whole team in the firm.
Mr Hodgson
Excellent service from Zoe Allen, Joshua Smith and Chadwick Lawrence.
Throughout my time dealing with Zoe, I have found her to be professional, knowledgeable and very personable with an outstanding work ethic. She helped me to navigate a difficult case (alongside the Covid 19 pandemic) and supported me with clear advice at every stage. Thanks to her unrelenting hard work the end result was a positive one and it has been a pleasure to deal with her throughout.
Alongside Zoe, Joshua also assisted on my case and his straightforward, ‘no nonsense’ approach & attention to detail was present at every stage. Their combined skills and efforts made them a team to be reckoned with and helped to achieve the best possible outcome for me in challenging circumstances.
I have no hesitation in recommending the team at Chadwick Lawrence. Every person I have ever spoken with and who has supported me through this case at Chadwick Lawrence including the Employment team, the Accounts team and both Zoe and Joshua have been exceptional throughout.
Mrs Hilditch
Excellent service from Joshua Smith at Chadwick Lawrence who was very helpful and professional throughout. Joshua gave clear and concise advice putting my mind at ease during a very stressful situation. He was friendly, supportive, and very knowledgeable answering any queries extremely promptly.

From the first 10 minutes consultation with Nils right through to the final outcome I found both Nils and Harvey compassionate, very professional and like I was in great hands.
Both asked everything they needed from me and formed a great mitigation approach and outcome putting a quick end to an awful ordeal.
Would highly recommend Chadwick Lawrence and the team.
Mr T, September 19
Thank you both for your support during this nightmare, on behalf of me and my family. I don't wish to think of how it would have been going alone, and I appreciate both of your professionalism and personal touches to the process, especially down to the seemingly trivial "how is the family" and "how are you getting home". It really went a long way to supporting me emotionally and psychologically.
Mr W, Ossett, July
Chadwick Lawrence’s Criminal Law team provided a swift, efficient, yet friendly and personable, service to me to fully prepare my hearing in the Magistrates Court to a very high standard resulting in me achieving the best possible result at Court
Mrs K-October
I would like to say that both the advice and service I recently received from yourselves was excellent at all times and very informative. I was always kept informed with what was happening and what I needed to do with regards to my hearing. I felt very reassured and at no time did I feel that you were not informing me of any action needed. The whole service was very professional and reassuring at all times.
May I add that the service provided was outstanding and gave me a lot of confidence in you and your staff.
Mr T October
To say you were exceptional today in your highly tactical delivery and achieving the best possible outcome is an understatement.
I have no doubt that without your support throughout the process, the outcome would be far worse. I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done and am truly grateful.
Whilst there are challenges ahead for me, it feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders for today and you have achieved an amazing result in this case.
You are incredibly talented, highly professional and I am forever in your debt.
Mrs C April
I was looking for a good solicitor and Chadwick Lawrence was highly recommended by a friend when I was looking for representation for an interview under caution. It was an extremely stressful and upsetting process but with Nils’ expertise and knowledge along with all the support made the process easier and gave us more confidence with the case resulting in no further action, which was the ultimate outcome I wanted.
I would highly recommend Chadwick Lawrence to anyone and the skills and knowledge Nils has would be hard to match, thank you for your support.
Ms. J April
I recently used Nils’ services and the outcome was the best possible outcome we could get, which was undoubtedly down to everyone’s statements and your defence, so thank you!
I will be certain to recommend your company and self to anyone should they ever need representation.
Mr E

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for the professional and sensitive way you have handled my mum’s estate. We would like to get our own affairs in order and cannot think of anybody we would rather have to handle this for us.
Justine Joyce
Hi Howard,
I wanted to thank you for the help and advice you have given us over the last few years. From initially taking the time to talk to my parents at some length to address their concerns about powers of attorney right through to most recently doing the deed of variation for my mothers estate.
Throughout this time your relaxed and approachable professionalism has made then difficult seem straightforward and helped everything to progress smoothly and without fuss!
Thank you again for all your help.

Just a note to say Thank You for your help when we certainly needed it. Sorry, it has worked out the way it has. One conversation with you still brings a smile to both my husband and myself. You asked "How are you?" My reply - " I feel totally out of my depth" brought your response "well let us do the swimming" was music to my ears.
Many thanks for the life jacket.

“Howard Dapin is the kind of lawyer that is actually a pleasure to work with. He is professional and caring – a fabulous confirmation. He has a way of dealing with delicate matters that puts clients at ease. I have worked with Howard for several years now and his private client knowledge is second to none.

Absolutely brilliant - all the people in the department who dealt with my case looked after me very well and I couldn’t have been treated any better.

On behalf of my wife and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank you for taking us through our compensation claim. As you will appreciate, this has been a very lengthy and stressful process for both of us. However, I would like to show our appreciation for the compassionate and very helpful manner in which you dealt with all the various aspects of the case which meant that we were always kept up to speed with matters as they unfolded. I have now been able to obtain new equipment which will enhance my quality of life in the future and this has been possible as a result of this claim being successful. Once again, thank you very much for your assistance.
Miss G, Cauda Equina sufferer
Thanks to my medical negligence solicitor at Chadwick Lawrence for assisting with my Cauda Equina Syndrome medical negligence claim. Having my bladder and bowels affected was a very personal and private matter, but my solicitor put me at great ease, was incredibly easy to talk to, supportive, very thorough and detailed in her work and left no stone unturned. She always acted in my best interests and I could not recommend anyone better to anyone needing assistance in a medical negligence legal claim.
Dr Jas Matharoo
I have been a client of Chadwick Lawrence for over 25 years and have always been afforded the highest standard of professional courtesy and care. What is exceptional at CL is how the staff are able to connect with their client and deliver a service that feels bespoke. I was introduced to Peter Harling and Zoe Allen by Stephen Oakes for a boundary dispute. Before, during and after this protracted legal case and mediation we were always kept informed of our position and what the likely outcome may be. Through the stressful mediation we even managed to keep each other amused! Peter Harling and Zoe Allen are a credit to the profession!
TJC Enterprises Limited
Adam and Sarah acted for me during a recent share acquisition, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. From start to finish, they provided clear, timely, and invaluable guidance, ensuring that every step of the process went smoothly. Their attention to detail and proactive approach gave me complete confidence, and they always took the time to explain complex matters in a way that was easy to understand.
Thanks to their hard work, the acquisition was completed successfully and efficiently. Adam and Sarah's commitment to achieving the best outcome for me was evident throughout, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for trusted legal professionals. Their support truly made a difference in this important transaction.

Mr F
During a recent company sale, we had the pleasure of working with Sarah Hemmings and Bradley Adams. The service we received was excellent, second to none, always professional yet with a human touch and realistic approach.
I am genuinely grateful for all the help, valuable advice and patience over the last few months. Admittedly the sale was hard work and stressful for all involved but I am very grateful to them for making the experience as pleasant as possible and going the extra mile to ensure we understood every detail.
I knew we were always in safe, highly competent and professional hands. I would not hesitate to use their services again or recommend them highly enough to others.
Gareth Davies
Thank you to Leanne Franks of Chadwick Lawrence, in helping make our Muse concert at The John Smith’s Stadium on 20/6 such a great success.
Major events like this are planned up to a year in advance and that crucially starts by getting the right contract in place between the venue and the promoter.
There is a huge amount of commercial and operational detail to get right and Chadwick Lawrence’s expert advice is invaluable in that process.
The end result, another leg of a major world music tour in Huddersfield, bringing fans and inward investment to the town from all over the country.
Mr & Mrs I
Many thanks for your hard work, assistance and support. Your attitude and work ethic are second to none. We would not have been able to get through the sale without you!
Director, Yorkshire Manufacturer
The work you do for us is first rate and we’ve worked with a number of commercial lawyers to compare you to! The company is moving into the next phase of its commercial life and I’m comfortable with that knowing that you are looking after it and will do whatever you can to make sure that it is protected. Thank you for providing a first rate service which we simply could not do without.
Paula Heslop, Qualia Care Developments
I have worked with Casey on many different projects, and each time her professionalism and standard of work is always exceptional. I cannot recommend anyone as highly as I do Casey.
Gareth Henderson, Core Facility Services
“The thing that really makes the difference with Leanne is the fact that she is relational which has enabled us to develop a strong partnership based on knowledge and trust. This means that I feel confident enough to be able to turn to her for a judgment on a huge range of business issues and she, in turn, knows me well enough to be able to challenge me on things when she needs to. Leanne always makes herself available and is very responsive, turning things around quickly. Above all, she really understands our business and how we work.”
Protek Contracts Limited
Very happy with the service by Zoe Allen in the Litigation, Resolution and Recovery Team.
On the same day I instructed, documents were prepared and hand-delivered resulting in long overdue payment at the very first stage. I don’t think this would have been possible without the efforts of Zoe and the team at Chadwick Lawrence.
Should we have any future issues, we will certainly call Chadwick Lawrence without hesitation.
Craig Rooke, Managing Director of CTE UK Limited
I would just like to comment my experience of dealing with Zoe Allen recently.
From the very first moment we spoke, right through to the end of our correspondence, I found Zoe to be engaged and supportive with our situation.
She always gave sound advice was bright and attentive and was always available especially during the time where we were both working from home and then later when she was just working from home.
I would not hesitate to recommend Zoe to anyone, she is a pleasure of a person, a credit to the Chadwick Lawrence team and made the process so much easier for us.
Sarah Divan on behalf of the Directors of Al-Ummah Halal Poultry Limited
Thank you to Asma Iqbal and Zoe Allen in the Litigation, Resolution and Recovery department at Chadwick Lawrence for all their hard work and commitment to what was a very challenging time for all the Directors involved in this matter. Asma and Zoe’s dedication, knowledge and professionalism in dealing with the matter on our behalves was second to none, and I am sure that we could not have reached the positive outcome we achieved without them.
Should we require any legal assistance in the future I would not hesitate instructing Asma, Zoe and Chadwick Lawrence generally again.

I would just like to say how professional Simon Ingham, in the Litigation, Resolution and Recovery at Chadwick Lawrence, has been during our lengthy case. We telephoned Simon after the shock of receiving legal information. From day one he has guided me through the whole process sympathetically and systematically. Simon is very impressive with his knowledge, focus, forward thinking, commitment, professionalism and skill to negotiate his way through any case. Kathryn Hunt joined in my case later and the two make a super team. Kathryn always has a very caring and supportive manner whilst very professional. She quickly brought herself up to speed with my case. Communication was always instant and always approachable, nothing was too much trouble. Even the Accounts Team, especially Tony at the Wakefield Branch was professional, polite and not pushy with a very nice manner about him. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Chadwick Lawrence for any legal requirements. I have already passed their information on to several people without hesitation. If you need to hire a Legal team hire Chadwick Lawrence.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything it was a very tough and dark time and your an amazing team.
Thank you
Ken Ward, Director of Tenable Business Support Services Limited
We have used Chadwick Lawrence on various occasions and find them to be a breath of fresh air, without the usual pomp and ceremony normally associated with the profession. So many law firms nowadays have lost touch with reality forgetting about the client needs but Chadwick Lawrence are extremely good at understanding very complex issues and getting to the bottom very fast of any difficult and time consuming issues. We have no hesitation in recommending anyone to engage the complete services of Chadwick Lawrence.
We have used various partners in Chadwick Lawrence without exception all are highly skilled and extremely approachable, but, Asma Iqbal in the Litigation, Resolution and Recovery department is without doubt the best in her field.

THANK YOU to Simon Ingham in the Litigation, Resolution and Recovery department at Chadwick Lawrence is simply not enough...…. you have been there for me throughout my darkest hours. Simon, you are such a wonderful man, thorough, caring, understanding and above all professional.

I instructed Dan Hirst at Chadwick Lawrence to advise my company on an urgent basis where immediate action was required. I was impressed with the speed and quick ability to understand the circumstances that surrounded the case and matched what I would have expected from a Magic Circle type operation. Dan was able to advise on the process, next steps and fundamentally advise on the commercial aspects of the litigation from start to finish. I would not hesitate to use Chadwick Lawrence in relation to litigation and commercial legal needs in general.

I have recently worked with Joshua Smith who gave me excellent advice and guidance on a recent case.
His commitment to keeping his clients fully informed at every stage is first class and his in-depth knowledge and expertise helped us to achieve a very positive outcome. Josh is very flexible in his approach and was extremely professional in all his dealings with us. His commitment to putting his client’s needs first is a real credit to him. I look forward to continuing to work with Josh and Chadwick Lawrence in the future.
Widnes Vikings
Thank you very much to Joshua Smith for his expert advice and speedy response to a business concern we had. He was able to break down the legalities into understandable and helpful options. Joshua was knowledgeable and patient with our query and we felt comfortable resolving the situation following his professional assistance. Thank you once again.
Exigo Project Solutions Limited.
Joshua Smith provided sound advice on a very stressful business – related matter, taking onboard my worries enabling me to focus on other important business matters. The advice provided and action taken on our behalf meant that the situation was addressed quickly. Chadwick Lawrence enabled my time to be spent continuing with other business matters, the reaction, speed and accuracy of the work produced was second to none.
Martin Howland – Director, Renaissance Arts Performing Arts College
I am writing to you with regards to the recent work performed by Matthew Perry and the rest of the team at Chadwick Lawrence.
We have recently had to deal with a difficult claim of unsubstantiated evidence resulting in a legal claim being brought against the college. Matthew and the team have worked tirelessly and relentlessly in keeping us fully informed and updated with all events and options available throughout the early proceedings.
On a personal note, the work and commitment of the team have taken away a heavy burden from my shoulders and allowed me to continually perform my job at a high level. I have not had to focus any unnecessary attention to the legal matters which I must confess, I find rather complicated.
I would like to thank everyone at Chadwick Lawrence for guiding us through this difficult process and I would not hesitate in using your company for any future legal matters.
Brian Griffin, Credit Controller at Mercedes-Benz Trucks
Having worked closely with Joshua over a number of years it has been a pleasure knowing him and having him deal with the account which have been handled by him at Chadwick Lawrence Solicitors.
Josh is diligent and has great attention to detail in dealing with any issues which arise in relation to the collection of accounts and in particular in relation to matters which end up in the legal recovery
process.
Keeping a customer updated on progress I find is very important when dealing with a number of accounts and issues and Josh is again very diligent in doing this and keeping matters up to date.
While a lot of the cases he has been dealing with are complicated and involve a lot of information he has been very astute in dealing with these and has picked up on the information provided within a short period of taking over the accounts from his predecessor.
It would give me great pleasure to recommend both Chadwick Lawrence and Joshua Smith when it comes to dealing with matter related to the collection of outstanding accounts.
Simon Wilson, Express Data
Peter helped with a particularly awkward situation to provide an outcome that at the time was well beyond our expectations. Within minutes of speaking to Peter it became clear we should have engaged much earlier in the process. His prompt and expert advice really made a difference to what could have been a damaging situation. With business as complex as it now is, as a computer network infrastructure specialist we continue to use the services of Peter and Chadwick Lawrence on a regular basis.
Matt Austin, Creative Director – Vast Digital
Peter and the team at Chadwick Lawrence provided Vast with a first class service. From initial briefing through to final completion, the process and communications were professional and thorough throughout.
Abby Fullerton – Professional Security Ltd
Professional Security have used Chadwick Lawrence as our go-to solicitors for many years now. We've always been very happy with the legal advice and the service received by the team. Recently we needed representation for a contractual dispute which ended up in court. We were defending an attempted injunction so things moved very quickly. The litigation team at Chadwick Lawrence were extremely knowledgeable, pro-active and went above and beyond to ensure that we were exceptionally well represented despite the tight timescale, ultimately resulting in the claimants withdrawing before the case went to trial. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chadwick Lawrence's services to any business looking for the comfort of knowing they have excellent legal representation at hand.
Gary Swift – Golfsupport.com
A big thank you to Peter Harling, Nicola Copper and the team at Chadwick Lawrence. Their advice, professionalism and ability to explain in plain English are second to none.
Ashley Haigh, Commercial Director – ARK Ltd
Chadwick Lawrence have been very responsive in our need for legal assistance.
They break the mould in terms of what I’ve personally come to expect from solicitors. Peter Harling and his team have been great, and simplify the process to give the client a real understanding of what can be achieved and the possible options available to approach the situation.
We’ve had great advice which in turn had led to great results.
Chris Bane, Managing Director – Strikes Bailiffs
I have worked with Chadwick Lawrence for approximately 3 years now, with a number of their employees but most notably Peter Harling. I have found the team to be trustworthy, professional and always on hand to assist our company but also our clients. We have always been provided with sound, knowledgeable advice on many a different case we present them with.
In an industry that can have a reputation for looking after itself, Chadwick Lawrence and certainly Peter Harling break this mould and are an absolute pleasure to deal with.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter, or the services of Chadwick Lawrence to any business or Individual.
Nick Fox, Nochex
On a personal note, I just want to say thank you. I know it's a paid for service we get from you, but there is much more to it than that. I really do appreciate the help, service and to be honest straight forward approach in dealing with these types of things and the relationship that has been built. It really is good to have someone at the other end of the phone on these types of things. Thank you for this, and the continued level of support you provided. We always have high expectations, and to be honest, you have never let us down. Thank you.
Fabrication Company, April 2020
Thanks Daniel. Keep up the good work with the videos - I'm running my business with the advice you are giving very much in the forefront of my mind.
The biggest problem is the grey areas in the statements released by the government can be read in multiple different ways, throwing confusion on to the shop floor. Everyone is then wanting answers from the management team who have seen the very same statement. Your videos help summarise and cut through the grey.
Mr M, April 2020

Thanks to everyone at Chadwick Lawrence whom are offering great advice during these difficult times. I find the video posts particularly helpful as it's so much easier than reading document after document.

Thank you so much, you have done an excellent job of giving us clarity so far during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Mrs T, March 2020
Yet another positive example of Chadwick Lawrence sharing key knowledge to everyone.
Kenny Cox (Commercial Director) – Live & Breathe
We are an established business that has always handled its HR and Employment issues internally and without any professional help. We did ok, we got by. However, the business was expanding and we soon realised we needed professional help. We had already been dealing with Chadwick Lawrence on employment law issues where we received excellent service and advice (thank you Sarah), but we soon found that the general day to day HR issues and management was also getting too much, so we subscribed to their Virtual HR/BoxHR package. The service, advice and support we received was all excellent from both Lisa and Lynda. Based on my experience I have no hesitation in recommending Chadwick Lawrence for anyone looking to outsource their HR function.
Peter Pemberton, Planet Platforms Ltd
We have been involved with Chadwick Lawrence for many years and have used many of their specialised legal Departments. Over the last few years we have subscribed to their Employment Law Scheme and used it to great effect.
Earlier this year they represented us in case involving one of our employees and the Chadwick Lawrence Associate who handled the case was Jack Oldroyd, who was excellent in all aspects of the work that was required to be undertaken. His attitude to us as clients and his attention to detail was first class.
We would certainly recommend the company for any legal work and we will continue to use them ourselves.
Mark Peacock, The ACE Group
Chadwick Lawrence and Jack Oldroyd are at present dealing with an ongoing employment matter which has resulted in us having to attend several tribunal hearings. During this process we have been provided with a highly professional and informed service.
Jack has ensured that all matters arising in the lead up to and during these tribunals have been dealt with in a correct and efficient manner; this service has been supported by our barrister who was also recommended by Chadwick Lawrence. I would have no qualms in recommending their services to anyone.
James Rule, Widnes Vikings
The Vikings have worked with Chadwick Lawrence for a number of years, handling a variety of issues. We have always found their advice and support to be of the highest standard and they have been invaluable in resolving a number of matters. In particular their accessibility and speed of response is to be commended and you are always made to feel that your situation is at the top of their agenda. I would have no hesitation in recommending their array of professional services.
Katie Town, Theatre Royal Wakefield
Theatre Royal Wakefield is a charity committed to outstanding work in all we do, including in our HR practices. We have found the Chadwick Lawrence team provides comprehensive employment support. They give prompt and efficient responses, with advice tailored to our organisation’s business and challenges. The Theatre would whole-heatedly recommended Box HR to other companies.
Alison Charlton, Spectrum Community Health CIC
As a social enterprise Spectrum has subscribed to Box HR and would not hesitate to recommend this to other businesses as it has been invaluable to ours. Our advisors have adapted their advice to appreciate the specialist nature of our services, our employees and our business and we are delighted with the support we receive. Any advice is received a timely manner, supporting us to manage our staff and business in line with best practice and employment legislation
Samantha Horn, Property Information Exchange Limited
I have worked with the team at Chadwick Lawrence for a number of years as the business has grown and diversified. Following a merger which has increased the size of the business considerably, the Firm has supported us with a significant consolidation and integration exercise. Having a dedicated solicitor to advise us is invaluable, and it is great to know that any question or query I have will be responded to promptly, professionally and with our objectives and goals at the heart of the advice.
Dominic De Luca, Premier Vanguard
Premier Vanguard continues to subscribe to Box HR and are extremely pleased with the service received to date. The key factor in the service is direct access to a specialist employment lawyer who now knows a lot about our business and particularly how we operate. We have found this enables us to receive no nonsense advice which is straight to the point and allows us to move matters on quickly and effectively. The training has also been of particular benefit to Premier Vanguard.
Rachel Law, PossAbilities CIC
I have relied on Daniel Krigers employment law expertise for several years, and have the utmost confidence in him as one of the leading employment lawyers in the North of England. Daniel, and the rest of the team at Chadwick Lawrence take time to understand our business needs and provide clear, user-friendly advice on many aspects of employment law, including complex TUPE situations.
The service we receive is of the highest standard and competitively priced. Their attention to detail and responsiveness exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the team at Chadwick Lawrence to any business seeking legal support.
Jennifer Jackson, Marlowe PLC
We have been really impressed with Chadwick Lawrence. Both Daniel Krigers and Holly Butterworth have been fast, friendly, easy to talk to, extremely thorough and value for money. Their expertise and support have been is second to none. I would highly recommend their services and will continue to use them as our business expands
Phil Bottomley, Major Recruitment Limited
We applied training to all of the company’s managers who not only gained more than they expected but found useful tools to assist individual and team performance. We would highly recommend the scheme to other businesses at any time.
Gary Hetherington, Leeds Rugby Limited
Chadwick Lawrence has proven to be one of my shrewdest signings! They have delivered an outstanding service and that’s why I let Chadwick Lawrence tackle our HR and Health & Safety
Sue Cobb, Kutchenhaus Limited
Kutchenhaus are a repeat subscriber to the employment scheme and we faced our first Employment Tribunal claim in a number of years in late 2013. Having followed the advice given as part of the subscription service, we felt confident in our defence. The claims were ultimately dismissed and our legal fees were covered under the policy which accompanies the scheme. The seamless approach and the knowledge and skills of our advisors is a significant benefit to us.
Ann Hough, Huddersfield Town FC
Your support is very much appreciated; just think you are like the 4th emergency service. Feel very safe knowing that our legal matters are looked after by the pros.
Debra Todd, Greenhead College
We have partnered Chadwick Lawrence exclusively since 2008 and have truly benefited from having a specialist team acting as a strong guide through the ever changing maze of legal matters and beyond.
For us, having a team of dedicated specialists who have been able to advise and assist us a large local employer has been a key priority, and something we have retained in spite of huge budget cuts and a funding crisis.
They have devoted time and interest to the college and truly understand our mission, they understand us. They are of course privy to highly confidential information, and would be consulted on to identify solutions relating to staff, often this can be in an emergency situation. Their response to crisis is always measured, methodical and solution focused.
In short, the company and the team that lead the provision are an example of excellence.
Richard Turner, Fantastak Limited
We are very pleased with the Box HR service to date. It makes a refreshing change to receive advice on complex matters such as employment law which is straight to the point and delivered with confidence and authority. It is clear that specialist employment lawyers are equipped to put their neck on the line, rather than sitting on the fence as we have often experienced in the past with legal matters.
Ian Kirkpatrick, European Tyre Enterprise Limited, Kwik-Fit
The team at Chadwick Lawrence provides comprehensive, consultative support to our existing HR department which is focussed on our needs, objectives, and the commercial context to the issues we face. Their assistance in both day-to-day employment matters and in defending litigation has been invaluable to the growth and continued success of the business.
Nicola Wright, Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare
In my career as a HR professional I have worked with a number of companies providing legal support and I must say that Chadwick Lawrence have been by far the best. The advice is not only commercially focussed but robust, practical and clear.
The responsiveness of the Partner I deal with is second to none, I never have to wait long for advice and I feel confident and reassured knowing that I can run something past them and it is legally sound. The team are true professionals and I look forward to our continued work with them.
Mary Hawksworth, Cutwel Limited
Cutwel were the first subscribers to the employment scheme and, since that time, our trusted advisors have come to understand all aspects of our business. We cannot imagine leaving the scheme given the level of support we receive and the quality of service provided. We encourage all businesses to contact Chadwick Lawrence for all employment law, health and safety, HR and training requirements as their whole service is essential to the fast pace of business life and full protection is vital to survival.
Steve Fearnehough, Crossway Scaffolding
We used Chadwick Lawrence’s employment services prior to them introducing Box HR but we subscribed to the scheme in the first year and have had no hesitation in renewing for a number years. The specialist solicitor allocated to Crossway Scaffolding is always on hand to provide us with advice and specifically to guide us through complex employment matters such as disciplinaries when they occur from time to time. Ongoing assistance such as this is invaluable to busy managers and gives them confidence to progress complex matters to an effective conclusion.
Adele Hannah, Community of the Resurrection
The Community of the Resurrection has become busier in recent years, and without a dedicated HR department the complexities of staffing and HR issues have grown. We have worked with Chadwick Lawrence for 18 months and already their team have guided us through a number of unusual situations! From reviewing our procedures and documentation, to giving advice on training, management techniques and best practice - the support is always prompt, clearly set out and thorough. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any organisation, large or small.
Sarah Roscoe, Cerberus Group
A professional firm who deliver a first class, speedy service and are a pleasure to work. Joining the Box HR scheme has proved to be invaluable to our business.
June Drury, Caddick Construction
We signed up to Box HR in 2014. The scheme provided comprehensive consultative support to our HR department, assisting in updating staff policies, handbooks and contracts of employment, to name but a few. The workshops that were included during this period were both informative and helpful. We are definitely grateful to Sam Pawson for all his invaluable advice and quick responses to varied and sometimes extraordinary requests over the past months.
We would definitely recommend Box HR to companies who require that extra assistance by an extremely helpful team
Rodney Horton, A. Andrews & Sons (Marbles & Tiles) Limited
As an existing client of the Firm in other areas of legal compliance, we engaged Box HR on an ad hoc basis in late 2012. Following a very successful and short lead-in period, we decided to take up subscription to the employment scheme in 2013. Our advisors are always on hand quickly to give us assistance with any employment issues and the peace of mind this offers to us is invaluable. The wider support given by Box HR to the business community through its seminar series is also extremely beneficial to us, as we do not have a dedicated HR department.
We have worked with Sam Pawson on a variety of employment matters and the advice offered has been clear and concise. He has a good understanding of commercial realities as well as excellent legal knowledge.
European Tyre Enterprise Ltd
We have used Peter Harling in the dispute resolution team at Chadwick Lawrence for advice on a number of occasions and also to assist in the recovery of debt through the courts. He has provided clear and helpful guidance in a timely manner, assisting us through the process to a satisfactory conclusion.
Airhop Limited
Thank you so much for your help and response. Its very clear what needs to happen next and you have answered all future questions and concerns.
Brilliant service. Thank you so much.
Mr K
I would like to thank Zoe Allen and Chadwick Lawrence for the assistance in overturning a County Court Judgment that had been wrongly lodged against me.
From our first telephone conversation, through to the end of our correspondence, I found Zoe to be professional, friendly and supportive, helping to make a very testing time for me as stress free as possible.
I was kept informed of developments at every stage of the process and despite the additional challenges brought on by the Coronavirus Pandemic, the entire process was dealt with in a speedy and timely manner and the end result was a welcome one.
Mike Brisland, Highwood Security Ltd
Many thanks Peter Harling in successfully helping us recover a debt from a customer. Your knowledge and expertise meant that within hours of us contacting you the appropriate documentation was sent to our client, resulting in full payment.
Great to find someone who always accepts or promptly returns phone calls!
Shahida P Malik – A1 Poultry Wholesale Ltd
We have been dealing with Peter Harling for over a year. He has been dealing with a business, who owed us quite a substantial amount of money.
Throughout this period, we have found him to be reliable, honest, hardworking, conscientious and courteous at all times. In fact one incident, he actually telephones us while on holiday.
His skills and abilities contributed in winning the case, and monies returned to us with interest.
Newfox Ltd
We selected Chadwick Lawrence to be our go to legal advisors as their reputation for clarity and fair play was second to none. In our subsequent experience we could not be happier with our choice of legal representation. No business is particularly joyful at the prospect of treading the path of litigation. However, under the leadership of Nick Worsnop and the broader team, we have found their help and guidance has always lead us to a happier conclusion.
Mick Stephenson, Arriva
Everybody without exception thoroughly enjoyed your presentation, both audiences were impressed by your delivery and knowledge.
We have already benefited since your presentation yesterday, as one of the managers present yesterday has raised and dealt with a concern regarding a contractor. I spoke to him and he attributed his actions to knowledge gained yesterday.
Martin Collinson, Poundstretcher
“We’ve used Chadwick Lawrence to provide assistance in respect of environmental health and trading standards for a number of years, including regulatory defence work. Not only do they demonstrate excellent technical expertise in this area but they apply that in a pragmatic and commercially astute manner”
