Ashley comments

“I recognise from experience that access to justice is very difficult in this day and age. Providing advice to clients so that they can make an informed decision is part and parcel of giving something back to the Community and helping people navigate the minefield of the legal process. If we can help, we will. I have a determined commitment to establish the issue of fairness in employment matters whether it be at tribunal level, appeals tribunal or through early conciliation and settlement agreements where appropriate. Understanding what a client wishes to achieve as an outcome is the most important aspect of our work. My task is to make it happen.”
