MorePearson Hinchliffe Commercial Law has worked with the NSPCC on a number of employment related matters with very satisfactory results. I am extremely pleased with the service that has been provided by their dedicated employment team; they have successfully advised and supported us in several high net worth employment tribunals. On account of their assured and professional approach, together with the end product, I have no hesitation in recommending partner Michael Pitt and his team to any organisation experiencing similar challenges.
Phil Horrobin, Employee Relations Adviser
NSPCC
I have used city lawyers in the past and feel that the service I received from the litigation team at Pearson Hinchliffe Commercial Law was extremely professional, on a par if not better than those firms, but more cost effective for my company. I would not hesitate in recommending them to other companies and individuals.
