Client Feedback
Amy was extremely helpful, responsive and friendly which made the whole process go smoothly.
I came across Amy by chance, but she quickly got to grips with my case and made me feel at ease from the outset. Her communication and litigating skills are second to none - I truly felt I had a tiger in my corner. She explained my settlement agreement clearly and made the process easy to follow. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing an employment lawyer.
I have loved your work and have appreciated the support, your advice and tenacity in this case. I loved the letters and communications you wrote - so powerful and effective. You were always to the point without ever making me feel rushed. You listened and understood everything quickly. I hate confrontation, but I felt strong with you by my side.
Very professional and efficient service. Communication was prompt and clear at all times. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic from start to finish! Amy was brilliant throughout our journey together. Myerson set clear expectations on estimated costs in our first discussion and offered flexibility regarding whether I'd like to meet in person or virtually. Amy was also quick to respond to emails. This was a lifesaver, as I was on a short deadline to resolve my matter. Would highly recommend.

Amy was absolutely fantastic in terms of advice, guidance and support. Her attention to detail, clear explanation of my legal entitlements, and provision timely inputs really helped me navigate what can be a tedious and complex process. She was responsive and available when I needed her help, and she provided thorough advice on several topics. Even when she went on leave, she ensured there was someone available to help in her absence. I would recommend the firm without hesitation.
Prompt and friendly service.
I recently instructed Amy to support me with a settlement. From the first interaction with Amy, right through to the conclusion of the agreement, I have nothing but positive things to say about this business and the way that Amy represented Myerson. She was incredibly professional and efficient, provided considered advice, and explained things in full to me. I wouldn't hesitate to use Myerson again, and will certainly pass on Amy's details. Fantastic service and support.
Mr. Hughes Gareth
Amy was professional, informative, working for me and advised me of her ideas and suggestions. It felt collaborative. She's an asset to you.

- Advising a company specialising in the creation of social media campaigns and advertising for third‑party brands on a full redundancy exercise from inception to completion. This involved drafting all relevant employee documentation and correspondence, providing strategic advice on collective consultation obligations, selection pools and objective selection criteria.
