Testimonials
I have worked with a number of employment lawyers during my 27-year HR career and without doubt Adrian Hoggarth is the most commercially minded lawyer I have had the pleasure of working with. Pragmatic, commercial understanding is critical from the perspective of employee/employer balance and the foundation for fair and reasonable outcomes. To know the law is one thing – to apply it is very much another and it is a skill that Adrian and his team have fully mastered.
Adrian presents options and solutions in a way that is clear and simple to comprehend, often unravelling many layers of complexity to procure a sensible and direct recommendation. No detail goes uninterrogated – resulting in confidence inducing work that one knows will stand up to challenge and interrogation. Adrian is reliable and often heavily relied upon by my clients for his insight and perspective into their issues.
Finally, Adrian is incredibly nice to work with. A much undervalued skill. There is nothing better than working with a partner whose company you both enjoy and trust. If you are lucky enough to be offered Adrian’s expertise, I suggest you take it.
