About Stephanie

Retail
Travel and leisure
Telecommunications
Care sector

I advise employees and employers on a broad range of employment issues.

My clients are corporate businesses of all sizes, and employees. I most commonly support them with:

Drafting and updating employment contracts and handbooks
GDPR from an employer/employee perspective
Settlement agreements (drafting on behalf of the employer and advising on behalf of an employee)
Advising on managing disciplinary, grievance, performance and sickness procedures

My clients receive practical legal advice. It’s important to understand a client’s needs from the outset. I clearly explain commercial solutions and the options available to them. Additionally, I explain the best practice from a legal standpoint – one that can be more formal and stricter.

I am easily contactable, flexible and friendly.

Outside of work I am actively involved in a youth gymnastics group which promotes the development of aspiring gymnasts and their well-being. I am the welfare officer for the club and also help organise events.

Having just had the shock of redundancy landed on me I was looking for some professional help and advice about my situation. Having dealt with MB in the past I contacted them immediately and found that the service and advice was as professional and reliable as I remembered it. Stephanie not only made me feel comfortable and confident in her advice she also explained in language that I could understand the key issues and decisions I needed to make. I’d have no hesitation in recommending her.
Client

I appreciate your support and advice over the last week or so and in particular the speed and attention you gave my case. I’ve been very impressed with you and the team and I am delighted with the outcome – Exceeded my expectations.

Client

I came by Stephanie by way of personal recommendation. Having spent a generous amount of time on a preliminary phone call, I instantly found myself at ease discussing a concerning employment dispute and felt her level of detail and attention in advice and service were excellent. Upon enlisting her services, I was kept fully abreast of costs and always felt that the advice given was fair and fully considered. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of an employment law solicitor.
