Advice Regarding Dismissing an Employee Following Performance Issues

“We found Patrick Simpson’s advice incredibly helpful. He took the time to digest a significant amount of internal paperwork and was both pragmatic and reassuring throughout. His memo was clear and actionable, and he didn’t just rehash what we’d already done; he built on it and gave us a sensible steer that helped us move forward confidently in a tricky situation.

It felt collaborative rather than critical, which made a big difference. He stuck to the agreed fee cap, even though the time he spent on the job clearly went beyond that. Really appreciated the honesty and support. We’ll definitely be reaching out again when needed.”

“Great experience, Patrick was very clear and gave time to explain the legal processes. Friendly and professional communication made me feel comfortable asking questions, received great legal advice.”
