"Bradley and Jefferies commercial solicitors provide us with on-going Legal advice as part of their Empowa Service. This is a solicitor’s service available to all companies who perhaps don't have their own in-house legal team.

I have not used a service of this type before, but for a small/medium sized organisation it has proved vital.

B&J Employment Law team namely Amanda and Luke have been exceptional and delivered a service that far exceeded my expectation. Their support has been accurate, timely and especially sensitive to the commercial issues that surround them.

I have felt fully supported and confident from a legal perspective to deal with all the employment issues I have been asked to tackle.

As an HR professional this has been a huge re-assurance and I would highly recommend the service to any local business, it will be without doubt one of the best decisions you've ever made! “

They have adopted a sensible approach to pricing which persuades us that they understand the critical matter of costs for small businesses.

"Support Into Work has been reliant on sound advice of Amanda Jefferies and Matthew Bradley since its inception as a partnership in 1995.
When the Support Into Work was later incorporated we were advised on the process by Matthew who has also dealt with all property issues for us. He also helped us set up a charity with a specific purpose many years ago. He is approachable, friendly and always totally professional in his style and actions.

Similarly, we had advice from Amanda on all matters around staff contracts when we began to employ others. Since that time she has been most helpful on issues of employment law when difficulties have arisen. Her advice is always clearly and cogently expressed and we have every confidence in her. She has also worked with us on presenting seminars on disability issues that could affect local companies. Furthermore, as a training company we see many people who have lost their jobs or believe they have been unfairly treated in employment. We have such confidence in both the advice they will receive and in the careful way in which they will be dealt with that we have no hesitation in referring them directly to Amanda for help.

When they set up their own practice, Bradley and Jefferies, it was natural that we would ‘seek them out’ since they were not then in a position to promote themselves to us. That has proved to be a very sound decision on our part. It is already clear that they have a very healthy and growing legal practice which is now well established on the Derby scene. They have adopted a sensible approach to pricing which persuades us that they understand the critical matter of costs for small businesses in particular

In professional terms my wife (and co-director) and I rate them very highly but also enjoy their company when opportunity arises. It has been good to see two such excellent young people do so well.."

I find the no nonsense commercial approach that yourself and Amanda instill in the philosophy of the firm spot on.

"One of our companies makes use of your Empowa insurance backed employment service and we find this a great way of accessing regular commercial employment advice with the ability to have a standard monthly budget backed by the comfort of the insurance arrangement with Temple.

In addition to Empowa, we find it very refreshing that you will provide a fixed price promise on non contentious work, over the years I have had numerous issues with solicitors over ‘flexible’ pricing and time charging and as a businessman much prefer to be able to budget an agreed figure and know exactly where I stand — in the same way that when we give a quote to a customer within our own business, we have to stand by it. Why should solicitors be different?

Beyond all of the above, I find the no nonsense commercial approach that yourself and Amanda instill in the philosophy of the firm spot on."
