Legal 500

Hatchers Solicitors’ employment law team has once again been recommended within the latest edition of the UK Legal 500, which provides an independent analysis of the UK Legal market, with the Employment Law team being described as:

“It is a pleasure to work with this team, the lawyers are extremely knowledgeable and explain things to you in a very practical way to enable you to understand and learn from them. When I ring or email I get a very quick response. I feel totally confident that the advice, guidance and support that we receive is the best way to deal with the issues we have. I cannot recommend this team highly enough. It is excellent.”
