I write to recommend A City Law Firm to anyone experiencing injustice or bullying at work. Not only did they always get back to me on concerns I had, but they handled my employer so that I had no further direct dealings with them. They were sensitive and empathetic about what I was going through and respectfully explained everything. The professionalism and dedication of this firm quickly became clear but above all, I felt a genuine motivation to achieve fairness. I did not want to go through an extended legal battle but this was never an issue and they worked for the level of compensation I wanted. This easily covered the legal costs and in fact some of the legal costs were charged to my ex-employer.

I am extremely pleased with Karen Holden and her firm because I have experienced the highest standards of service.

I have been particularly impressed with Karen’s foresight and anticipation enabling advantage to be gained. Karen is a highly competent and professional Lawyer who has provided me with an effective and efficient service.

CEO US Global Company - Hong Kong
February 2009
My work assignment in Hong Kong was due to end and no alternative roles were available in the Company. My employment contract was complex and governed by UK law so I needed a practising UK lawyer to handle my termination agreement. Karen Holden came highly recommended by a leading employment lawyer based in Hong Kong. Due to my location I only met Karen briefly once but through this exchange I was confident in her ability to represent my interests. The advice she gave was practical and straight forward. Despite the time difference and remote relationship, she maintained a high standard of communication throughout the process with regular updates in very plain English. Through her experience and commanding negotiation style she was successful in securing a much higher settlement and more favourable conditions than I had anticipated. Karen also went the extra mile by providing a contact in financial services who advised on managing related tax implications. Overall, a great service with excellent results.

I would like to highlight that Karen Holden who assisted with my query was extremely helpful and really took the time to assist. Karen was actually out of the office at the time of sending the query and responded within hours. This was despite the fact it took the time to understand the query and she provided options as opposed to one solution.

Howard- Compromise Agreement Advice

tick

Howard - Compromise Agreement

The terms of the compromise agreement were clearly explained to me in simple language. I was not however, satisfied with the compensation being offered so A City Law Firm offered to negotiate with my employer for more money and a better reference. They did this for me for a fixed fee and within a week I walked away with 60% more than previously offered. The Compromise Agreement was amended and signed within a week so I suffered very little stress or delay. I felt in control of the process as I was advised of what was going on throughout the negotiations. If you have a compromise agreement I recommend their employment lawyers.

Having needed to use a number of solicitors over the past few years with incredibly disappointing results, A City Law Firm have proven to me that Solicitors can provide a real service , they can manage the expectations of the client, and they can keep the client informed and respond with sensitivity. I have been deeply impressed with A City Law Firm and would not hesitate to recommend them.

After seeing two other solicitors I was completely disillusioned with the legal profession. I then found Alex Monaco who held my hand though a compromise agreement at a very vulnerable time when I was 9 months pregnant. He took the stress away, dealt with it swiftly and efficiently and made the situation bearable.Thank you so much.

The work that Karen did for me in writing a watertight contract of employment for my staff member was done quickly and efficiently. She actually worked over a weekend to ensure that the copy was ready for the Monday morning. Thanks Karen!

I contacted the City Law Firm when I had to confront a very difficult and stressful employment issue. From the moment I entered their offices I was made to feel very comfortable and supported. My solicitor kept me informed of the progress of my case, I found Laura to be very professional and friendly, she gave me advice and very useful guidance when I had to enter meetings with my employers and line managers. The outcome of the situation was very satisfactory. I have moved forward from a very distressful situation and have begun to build a new life for myself with the help and support of Laura. I have advised friends to call the Firm when they find themselves needing legal advice.

I was in a total state of shock and bewilderment when I first came to meet Sarah. She was very sensitive and caring which made a very painful situation a lot easier. She has been thoroughly professional throughout the 6 months work she did with me. I really felt that not only did she have my best interests as central to the advice she gave, but also that she genuinely cared about how I was feelings at each stage of the process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going through a relationship ending, especially lesbian or gay clients who are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, supportive and non-judgemental.

I was offered a Compromise Agreement and the employment solicitors at the firm negotiated a much better deal. The terms of the compromise agreement were clearly explained to me in simple language. I was not however, satisfied with the compensation being offered so A City Law Firm offered to negotiate with my employer for more money and a better reference. They did this for me for a fixed fee and within a week I walked away with 60% more than previously offered.
