Established in 1875, Dallas McMillan Solicitors is considered one of Glasgow’s leading law firms, with services spread across a wide variety of legal fields. We think potential clients who are looking for a firm that’s backed up by a wealth of experience will find it worth checking out.

It employs a handful of highly-qualified lawyers who we hear are very hands-on with their clients’ cases. On top of that, they’re known to be prompt in responding to queries, which we think is an essential trait of trustworthy lawyers. 

In terms of employment law-related services, it mainly focuses on two areas here – settlement agreements and equal pay. We find that this shows mastery in these particular issues, making them reliable legal counsel for those dealing with these matters.

We like that they’ve had experience in an extensive range of issues, such as unfair dismissal, sex discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, working time regulations, holiday pay disputes, and collective redundancy issues.

What we found impressive was that it has the contact numbers of its lawyers specialising in settlement agreements and equal pay readily available on its website. 

This means that potential clients in need of immediate assistance can directly contact them instead of going through the inquiry form and waiting for a response.

It’s worth noting that there have been a handful of clients who had issues with the firm’s record-keeping. But overall, most of them are quite happy with the legal services its lawyers offer. 

Raeside Chisholm Solicitors Limited is known for providing first-class legal services to its clients. It has even been featured in the Evening Times, The Herald, and The Sunday Times. 

As for its employment law-related services, its lawyers offer expert legal advice and representation in virtually all common employment issues. 

These include age discrimination, settlement agreements, minimum wage, race discrimination, workplace harassment, whistle-blowing, and more. So, we definitely think they’re worth looking into given their wide area of expertise.

Should a client’s case require more involvement, we hear that its lawyers go the extra mile to offer their assistance and services throughout court sessions and other relevant proceedings. 

Clients we’ve gotten in touch with said that this helped boost their confidence and trust in the firm, so they get top marks from us in terms of reliability and support.

A word of caution, however: we’ve heard some reports regarding unresponsive lawyers. This is may be a cause for concern as certain clients would need their lawyers to be reachable, especially during emergencies. 

We’re also a bit concerned that despite having a mid-sized team, they seem to be challenged by the number of current and potential cases that require their immediate attention.

If industry experience is a part of clients’ personal criteria, they’ll be glad to know that Miller Samuel Hill Brown Solicitors has been in the game since the 1750s. That means it has over 250 years’ worth of industry experience, which we think is impressive, to say the least.

We found it worth highlighting that its employment law-related services cover virtually all aspects, from grievances to maternity and paternity rights. By having a wide range of offerings, it can be of service to more clients. 

Its team of employment lawyers is currently led by Marie Macdonald, a recipient of the Specialist Accreditation by the Law Society of Scotland in Employment Law. With her stature and credentials, we think that its team is in good hands.

We hear that the firm’s lawyers are efficient and precise, even with tight deadlines. This sense of urgency will surely appease a lot of anxious clients, as they seem to be impressively on top of all their cases.

When it comes to payments, they accept online card payments via its website, specifically Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, and Discover cards. We think this offers great convenience to clients, as digitising the process makes everything seamless and secure.

However, we did encounter a few reports regarding invoice delays. We find this to be a concern for some, especially since large sums of money are involved.

Just as its name suggests, Employment Law Services (ELS) specialises in all things related to employment law.

For employers, it offers advice on settlement agreements, employment tribunal representation, and COVID-19 employment claims. 

On the other hand, it offers an array of support and representation services for employees. Some of these include settlement agreements, performance management, staff absence management, and more.

Unique to ELS is that it offers a complete selection of employment law solutions. This includes HR advice and support, employment law workshops, and e-learning courses for employers and employees alike. 

Did we mention that it also offers free HR health checks? All clients need to do is answer a few questions and they’ll get a customised HR Health Check Report in 2 minutes.

We love this feature and we’re sure that clients do, too. They can use their initial diagnostic results to assess whether their HR department is in need of support.

Apart from these, this award-winning firm is composed of a team of employment law advice specialists who we hear are always hands-on with their clients. We like that they are consistent in offering accurate and timely advice, which solidifies their clients’ trust.

However, we did come across a few minor complaints regarding the responsiveness of its team. We think its popularity poses a challenge to getting in touch with its lawyers since they’re quite busy. 

For clients who are ready to get the ball rolling, they may avail of its free consultation which they can opt to do in-person or remotely via telephone or conference call. 

As one of the oldest and award-winning firms here on our list, clients can expect that Bridge Litigation UK has a wealth of knowledge and resources to extend to its clients.

We were happy to see that with employment law being one of its specialties, the firm offers legal counsel encompassing all aspects and stages of dispute for both employees and employers. 

Clients may also conveniently arrange a free consultation via its website. We think that this is worth taking up to discuss the intricacies of the case and how its lawyers can be of service.

During the first meeting, we think it’s great that clients can its lawyers provide clients a preliminary view of their case, which includes the cost of their services, legal merits, and more. 

This tells us that the firm ensures transparency from the get-go. This way, clients are well-aware of the process and feasibility of their case, which we appreciate.

Speaking of costs, its lawyers will also discuss a variety of funding options for the client’s case if applicable. This definitely gives them plus points from us as legal services can be costly. 

As for its customer service, past clients we’ve spoken to said that its lawyers offer full support all throughout. We find that this definitely has a positive effect on clients’ sense of security as many like to be in the loop.
