Employment Law

 Myself and approximately 70 of my colleagues at 3MSPSL were going through a difficult TUPE process and the advice we were receiving from our union's full-time representatives and solicitors was overly complex, difficult to understand and not very helpful or realistic. We instructed Susan Mayall of Pearson Hinchliffe Solicitors to consult with us on the TUPE process and advise on the signing of the Compromise Agreement that was offered to us. Susan Mayall's advice and service was professional, pragmatic, realistic and easy to understand. By her professional advice, Susan was instrumental in helping us all to secure and extra 2 week's salary on top of what was first offered.

Mr K Cook - Prestwich.
 I needed urgent employment law advice for a problem my son had with his employer. I knew of Pearson Hinchliffe as I had dealt with Roger Hinchliffe previously. My son and I were offered an appointment with Susan Mayall, employment solicitor, on the same day as I made contact. Susan provided her advice and then assisted my son in drafting a letter to his employer the following day. I was extremely impressed by the professionalism, prompt attention and sensible and sound employment law advice given. I would have no hesitation in recommending Susan Mayall and Pearson Hinchliffe's employment team to anyone needing employment law advice.

Mr M Ward - Oldham.
 I was completely satisfied with your service and could not have asked for more.

Ms T Hilbert - Rochdale.
