Client testimonials

We are delighted to be working with Weightmans and experience an exceptional level of service. They take time to understand the nature of our business and associated challenges and recommend workable solutions. Our assigned HR legal specialists are always available and are real experts in their fields. The support Weightmans has provided has been invaluable and has allowed us to develop as a business with the knowledge that we are following best practice. I have no hesitation in recommending Weightmans to other organisations as I know they will add real value.
Shazad Hussain, Beacon Medical Services Group -
Ian’s advice, professionalism and attentive approach has helped us successfully address issues to a satisfactory resolution. He provides clear, concise, and detailed responses presenting options, risk, and workaround to suit our organisation’s needs and is always available to provide support.
Emma Wilcock, Hexagon Care Services Ltd -
We have been working with Weightmans for many years using their HR Rely service and have always felt it offered outstanding value and service, and all our day-to-day queries are handled effectively and quickly. It goes without saying that the legal advice we are given is always of excellent quality, and always pragmatic and commercially appropriate for a high street retailer. Additionally the scope of the service is very generous, so it is very rare that we have to go outside of the agreement to commission additional support. Every year at budget time we do our due diligence and look at the wider market to see if HR Rely can be bettered, but we always come back to it as the best value for us which is why we have stayed for so long.
Matthew Scott, White Stuff
