Emma Thompson

We cannot thank you enough...it is far more than we ever expected ... you are not only a top solicitor but a very nice person too. You have also been understanding & caring...

Thank you for writing such a well crafted letter on my behalf. I feel it was absolutely spot on ,as difficult as it was to see things in black and white.

Her letters written on my behalf were superb, and the time I know she spent researching the background showed a really impressive work ethic... She was always able to meet and talk with me and I felt I had someone with real 'clout' fighting my corner.

You have been such a great support to me and in amongst all the fairly grim issues we have dealt with. I place great value on your advice, counsel and the humanness of the way you have supported me and the business. Thank you Emma. It means a lot to me and I'm very grateful we have had the opportunity to meet.

Many thanks for your help with this, along with your patience and professional advice throughout. I really appreciate the quick completion and am delighted with the outcome.

You have been absolutely amazing throughout this terrible experience. We cannot thank you enough.

From both of us a massive thank you, from the start of the process you have been highly professional, highly engaged and totally there for us, to add to that I found you to be friendly and emphatic.

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the professional service provided by your firm and Emma in particular. Her approach, timely responses and professional advice were very much appreciated in this matter.

I appreciate all the excellent advice you have provided during this process.

Once again, thank you so, so much for your help. It's the one area of everything happening this year where I have really felt like I had someone on my side fighting my corner, you have no idea how much of a weight off my shoulders that was to have that support. I would have absolutely no hesitations in recommending you to anyone else.

Many thanks Emma. You’ve been a great help and I would highly recommend you to any friends/colleagues of mine.

Thank you for all your help in this matter you’ve been excellent!

Thanks very much; your handling of this has been superb, and provides much confidence in what is potentially a tricky situation.

I have felt really supported by your efforts and it means a lot. This is a situation I wouldn’t wish on many; you are helping me through it.

I know it’s ‘work’ for you but I have felt really supported by your efforts and it means a lot - more than I can comfortably put in a couple of lines on email. This is a situation I wouldn’t wish on many; you are helping me through it.

Thank you very much for everything you have done and i feel blessed that you were recommended.

Thanks for all your advise and help over the last few weeks, I’m really happy with what has been settled and your help with this has been so great, so thank you again for everything!

You were very good, the best one I have dealt with around this sorts of matters. Thanks for looking out for me.

Many thanks for everything, as I said before you have been brilliant.

Emma is one of the sharpest most commercially minded employment dispute lawyers I have worked with.

I would like to thank you and all the team members involved for dealing with my situation in such a timely and efficient manner. I would definitely use your services again in the future and also would pass the details to anybody else should they need any assistance in employment law.

You have simply been amazing. From first contact, to expediting my case and writing an incredible letter, to getting me out of there. In a year that has had many downs, you have given me a huge lift.

Just a quick note to say how grateful I am for your assistance over these past few months. Without your guidance and experience, I am confident that the outcome would have been so much different and certainly not in my favour.....so well done you.

I have worked with the team for about 12 years. Even though it's a regional firm - and has that friendly personal touch - it has all the feel of a big City firm in quality.

Clients are always at the heart of what they do. They are approachable, personable and help make complex matters simple. They take the time to fully understand what a client needs and then helps them achieve it.

The level of the personal and bespoke service offered by Emma Thompson and her team is unique in my experience of working with other employment practises. The level of transparency and honesty is so reassuring, and her advice will always be based on the best interests of the client. These key principles are enshrined in the DNA of the practice and this is why I have and will continue to recommend, unreservedly, friends and colleagues who need help with their unique employment issues.

She is confident, honest and puts clients immediately at ease with her exceptional interpersonal skills and her clear focus on achieving the best outcome for them.

Thank you so much for your help on this, I really appreciated your advice and it was a pleasure working with you. I will definitely be in touch again should I need any further employment advice and will recommend you to friends and family.

It was good to see you last week, thank you for your consultation and advice; you have a very reassuring presence!

I am so incredibly grateful to Emma and you all for all the amazing hard work and support you have given to me.

I just wanted to thank you again for all your help with my employment issue and to let you know that I would not hesitate to recommend you.

I am so glad the little gift arrived and I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am. Words sometimes just don’t feel quite enough!

You are entirely brilliant thank you.

Thank you Emma – as always for guiding and supporting me through – you are so brilliant and in tune with our values. Massively brilliant.

Thank you so so much for everything I am so grateful for everything.

Our case had been a truly traumatic experience for us from the outset. Having used Thackray Williams for conveyancing matters, we asked for some employment advice and support. We were passed on to Emma.

From the outset, she was extremely approachable and sensitive to our position. Being of a professional background ourselves, we very quickly recognised someone who holds exceptionally high standards of professional behaviour at all times, irrespective of the challenges of dealing with often provocative, inflammatory, unruly behaviour from the opposing party. She guided us through our journey with such an air of calm confidence that we always felt much better placed and settled after engaging with her. At no stage did she leave any question unanswered nor did she raise any false hopes. She always reverted to us in a timely manner. We were never left "hanging". She was consistent and clear in her approach throughout and this helped us immensely, in such a mine-field of legal processes, jargon etc. Her professional yet sensitive manner and support was a great comfort and support to us at a very emotionally upsetting time. Needless to say, as any professional knows, there is a team that is integral to the success of that individual. Emma's team were always on hand and up-to-speed to support us and we recognise all their hard work including Elliot Flockhart and Jennifer Scoates. On "the day", when we were in attendance at their bright, airy, clean and uplifting offices in Bromley, from the moment we parked our car, we were met and attended to by the most professional, polite reception staff who we could tell were sensitive to our moods and needs. This was such a reassuring and settling start to what was to follow. Thank you Emma and your team. Exceptional in all respects.

I can't thank you enough, you were incredible. Thank you for all the advice and encouragement. I am delighted with the outcome and would never have achieved that without you. Hopefully I will never need a lawyer again but if I do you will always be my first port of call.

Just wanted to thank you again for your time today. To see the weight lifted from (our clients) shoulders was evident straight after your call, can’t thank you enough of that.

I really can not thank you enough for all your work on my case but above all else your support through this whole horrible situation, without you I never would have received justice and knowing that you believed and supported me helped get me though this.

You have been my total angel through all of this and honestly think you are not only a brilliant solicitor but a kind good person!

Just to say a big thank you once again for your invaluable support and advice. What would I do without you. Thank you for your unwavering advice throughout this year. You are the best legal advisor I have ever worked with and I’ve worked with a few.
