What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a legal adviser?

After some senior management changes and several restructuring rounds, the company I worked for became an unpleasant working environment. It felt everything I did was wrong and everything I said was challenged, leaving me doubting my worth. Their actions took the joy out of my role within a company I had loved. After securing a major contract, I hoped the new management team would recognise my value to the team (over the years I had earned awards for my contribution). Instead my achievements were devalued, whilst others were rewarded for delivering less and against company deal guidelines. I was responsible for major household named accounts and had a strong reputation both internally and with clients. Since the new team arrived, the existing team started to leave, with only a small percentage remaining. They hired new people for the UK and Benelux, from a company they had all previously worked at, giving them some of the accounts and territories that belonged to me, substantially reducing my scope to be successful in future years. I asked a number of times for this to be reviewed. My requests were declined out of hand. I approached HR to ask for advise on how to best handle the situation. At the time I felt I had a good and honest relationship with HR. I had been unwell for some time and whist I had never asked for special treatment or taken a day off sick for my illness (I always took holidays for appointments/treatment). After seeking advice, things became much worse. Management publicly belittled me to my peer group and insisted they were invited to every client meeting and approved client emails before they were sent. It was suffocating, demoralising and made it challenging to function professionally. I began to question myself and double check everything. My line management started a process of questioning every single deal I had closed over the years and left me in no question, after a highly successful time with the company, I was no longer wanted or valued. The company wished to start a professional improvement plan process, which I appealed - they were in a hurry to get the process started and concluded with break neck speed. This is when I got in touch with LincsLaw. My health, outlook and confidence was badly impacted. The experience this company put me through would have left me broken if I had not had LincsLaw to remove the pressure and to put humanity and professionalism into the situation.

How has Sally Hubbard helped you?

Sally listened, asked lots of questions and checked everything I shared with her to ensure she had a firm grasp of my situation. Sally was not only highly professional, but friendly and kind with a great sense of humour. She helped me to understand whilst I was worried I was "a woman of a certain age", my company had treated me in a way that was not acceptable and that I had grounds to pursue a financial settlement. She walked me through my options and took time to understand my thoughts and feelings throughout the process. Often I was conflicted - but Sally never made me feel anything other than valued and always gave me time to think things over. She reminded me of how working together should be and provided a safe environment to talk things through. She never made me feel I was wasting her time, or that I was being an idiot. I changed my mind a couple of time on the outcome I wanted. Sally was understanding and wholly accommodated my needs. The company I worked for instructed and international employment firm to act on their behalf, Sally held her own and represented me in a way that made me proud to have chosen her and her company to represent me. I can not recommend Sally and LincsLaw highly enough.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

100%. Sally did everything she said she would and achieved everything I asked of her.

What could they have done better?

More advertising of their capabilities. It was pure luck that I found LinsLaw on a Google search. I was in a bit of a state when I realised the way I was been treated at work was not right - so feel so fortunate to have stumbled across them.

How has Sally Hubbard helped you?

Sally has been with me on this long 9 month journey which has now concluded. Sally has been an unfaltering rock every step of the way in what has undoubtedly been one of the hardest times if not the hardest time of my life. When everything changed course in my in an instant as a result of my previous employer, work, house, relationships, finances, emotional well-being; Sally was a blessing getting me through and I put every faith in her. Sally was amazing in picking out the details from my rambling, patient when I bombarded her when my mind was too full, sally saw the situation clearly and gave sound realistic advice. Sally is professional, reliable and inspires confidence when you need it the most. I can’t thank her enough.

She put my mind at rest and was very useful to be able to speak to a legal expert at short notice and without cost for that initial advice.

Abuse from an employer, leaving me feeling lost, alone, and frightened.

How has Sally Hubbard helped you?

Sally listened to my story and asked sensitive questions in a way which made it ok to answer. She pushed me to be open and honest and made me feel like it was ok to be the victim that I actually was. She explained the behaviour so that I could understand how bad it was, and then explained clearly how I could respond. She then gave me advice about how to move forward. The advice resulted in a satisfactory outcome. However, Sally also explained a back-up plan should the steps I took result in a negative outcome. This gave me the confidence to do what was required. Without Sally's advice, I am fairly certain I would have handled the situation badly and potentially made it worse, or left it to conitinue.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, I have seen one of the potential outcomes that I was hoping for. However, I feel certain that I would have been satisfied with any of the outcomes Sally predicted.

Throughout the whole process Sally provided solid and comprehensive legal advice was always honest about potential scenario outcomes and provided sound strategies for dealing with the matter in hand. One very important service that Sally also provided was that of emotional support, providing a sympathetic ear and always having my mental and physical wellbeing as a priority.

Sally provided straight forward advice of my options provided in the Settlement Agreement. Using her extensive professional knowledge, Sally presented sound legal advice on what I might expect if the redundancy process went ahead and my potential next steps.

The situation went from bad to worse & I needed impartial & good legal advice from someone I could trust.
