Why we like the EMA

We act mainly for employees. Over the years we’ve dealt with many different types of people who act for employers. Recently we were, again, up against someone from the Employers and Manufacturers Association. The lawyer acting for the employer was thoroughly professional, he defended his clients’ position, but at the same time he was pragmatic and with a problem solving approach.  He did a good job for his clients, and we also did a good job for our client. This is what our client said about us:

Thanks for doing such an amazing job yesterday. Your professional approach and calm manner in dealing with us was exceptional! You made the meeting (although obviously not a great place to be) easier to deal with than if we had been flailing around by ourselves! If we ever have friends in such an unfortunate situation; we will definitely recommend your services.

Employment law is a specialised area that requires the right mix of experience, qualifications, attitude and negotiating skill to do it well. Asking someone to act for you who only dabbles in this area is like asking the operating theatre cleaner to do brain surgery on you.

Of course, we hope that you will come to us if you are an employee with an employment law problem. But if you’re an employer we think that having someone like the EMA acting for you is likely to serve you well.
