Chris Hogg gave clear swift advice in a tricky situation. I was very grateful for his candour and support

Harriet is an amazing talent. She is fast, effective and provides sound counsel. She is an innate problem solver and will do what it takes to drive matters to resolution. Most importantly, she felt like an advocate for me and someone I could rely on.

I contacted Lorna Valcin for urgent advice, received a quick response and an appointment was swiftly scheduled. Lorna is a consummate professional who can quickly and intuitively understand the situation at hand and provide the relevant advice. I found Lorna to be personable and empathetic with an insight which enables her to switch to providing support to her client when appropriate. It's rare to find a highly skilled lawyer with the combination of legal expertise and compassion for their clients like this. I would not hesitate in recommending Lorna to any employee who needs a top employment lawyer to act on their behalf.

Lorna Valcin has definitely made an impact on my life. In what has been a terribly difficult time with my employer, Lorna handled my matter with distinct professionalism and pace. With a calm demeanour, she managed to agree a fantastic settlement and made it possible for me to leave a very bad situation with my head held high. Prior to approaching Monaco, I had been to other 'top' solicitors and wasted quite a lot of money on this matter and my only regret is that I didn't come to Lorna first. For the first time, I actually felt like I was being listened to and understood. Thanks for your patience and for taking the burden off my chest in a way that you would never know. It's much appreciated!

Harriet was incredibly understanding and helpful from the first phone call. She managed to demonstrate her knowledge in terms of my case quickly and without elongating the process. Every point throughout my case, she knew exactly what needed to be done and clearly communicated this without having to increase the amount of time and, therefore, costs I would incur. I'm incredibly grateful to Harriet for help and so glad that I instructed her to work on my behalf. Monaco are great because they do not look at your case in terms of how much money they can receive but actually only the minimum time it would take to achieve success. Thank you Harriet - I will definitely use again and/or recommend her and the company to anyone I know! All the best :)

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Harriet Bowtell. She made a very difficult situation (negotiating my exit from a company) easier to manage and negotiated a great settlement for me. She valued my opinion, listened to me and together we worked towards a resolution that I am very happy with, and most of all she understood how mentally exhausting going through past events was for me. I recommend her highly.

Harriet Bowtell was absolute fantastic in handling my case. From the first initial phone call, she was professional yet caring and empathetic about my situation and went well beyond to obtain a very good result in what were difficult circumstances. Harriet is an extremely talented employment lawyer who fully understands her specialism yet has a definite human touch, and for that she comes highly recommended. As a whole, the experience with Monaco solicitors was first rate and their website contains no end of useful information to help you understand what can be a very difficult and traumatic experience when face with a settlement agreement.

I cannot thank Rhiannon enough for helping me to handle with success my settlement agreement with my ex-employer. Rhiannon was very professional and friendly. She was always available and prompt in responding to emails and returning calls. It was a pleasure working with her. She made the settlement agreement process stress free. I would highly recommend Monaco Solicitors and specially Rhiannon.

I am so pleased I used Monaco Solicitors. Nicola was great to deal with from the start I was left with confidence that she would get me the best deal and she definately has. Together we increased a exgratia payment by an astonishing factor of 1.5. Then above and beyond Nicola made sure my fees were tax efficient. I should end it here but I will rant on a bit more with a hope it helps you with your decision at this stressful moment. I didn't know Monaco solicitors before this encounter so I did call around to four other companies before selecting Monaco and I asked the same questions 1) is the offer fair 2) should I ask for more. The answers I got elsewhere were 1) Yes 2) our hourly rate is xxx if you want to ask for more from your employer you will be charged between 6 hours and 10 hours depending on the work requested. They then asked my details so they could run "conflict of interest" check. At the end of my research it just felt that the competitors were only interested in a basic fee and that our interests were not aligned. So I activated Nicola at Monaco and the fee charged was appropriate to the end result and as it turned out 1) the offer wasn't fair 2) yes I should ask for more. If you got this far thanks for reading I hope your encounter with Monaco Solicitors is as good as mine was. wishing you all the best.

I cannot recommend Lorna Valcin highly enough. She delivered on exactly what she said she would. That was an increase in the settlement fee offered by my employer and a good reference. The advice Lorna gave was clear, friendly and professional. She always called when she said she would, and got back to my emails within hours. She really came through for me when it mattered. I would not hesitate to recommend Monaco Solicitors and in particular, Lorna.

Will was assigned to help me with my situation. From the moment I made my first phone call to Monaco Solicitors, everyone I spoke to was incredibly helpful. Will put me at ease with all my questions and was a real help. Monaco Solicitors was recommended to me by two people I knew and I would highly suggest to use them.

I turned to Harriet Bowtell, of Monaco Solicitors, for legal advice on a redundancy settlement proposal. Harriet is very accommodating towards her clients, an excellent communicator, highly efficient and always to the point. Her expertise on settlement processes and negotiations provided the legal guidance and support I so evidently needed through all phases. As a result, I came out on significantly better terms than what I had initially expected - all thanks to Harriet and the exceptional service I received. To anyone seeking an employment law specialist, I would highly recommend Harriet Bowtell and Monaco Solicitors.

Our lawyer really helped me through the trauma of negotiating a severance package and got better results than my 1st and 2nd negotiations direct with my former employer. I would highly recommend and it was worth the costs.

I called very last minute to get advice and a letter to an employment issue I was going through. Lorna took the time out of her busy schedule to provide advice to me quickly and managed to increase the settlement figure that had been offered to me. A great service.

Lorna Valcin gave me outstanding support and advice which helped me gain a very generous settlement agreement package from my organisation following a grievance I submitted about harassment and bullying by senior executives, which was founded in my favour. Lorna was so helpful and responded so quickly and professionally, I will always be extremely grateful and I would not hesitate in recommending her to any employee who needs a top employment lawyer to act on their behalf. I initially approached a local employment lawyer and felt disappointed with the advice that they gave and I feel so fortunate in having contacted Monaco Solicitors because their knowledge and expertise was undoubtedly superb and head and shoulders above what I could access locally.

I needed some legal advice for a redundancy payment within a short timeframe and was really impressed at the quick response and turnaround time. Even though I felt happy with the document, Lorna made sure I understood the terms and took me through them. It was also helpful that this could be done over the phone. I also appreciated that payment wasn’t the first thing that was mentioned in comparison to other solicitors I contacted. I will certainly recommend their services to others and use them again if I have a need.
