Owner, Pub CompanyAs a small business we have found the legal and HR aspects in particular to be challenging given the breadth and depth of knowledge which is expected of an employer, not to mention the tight timescales in which we as employers are required to deal with such matters. The support received from Alex at Clarke & Son in particular has been swift, pragmatic and decisive, allowing events to be quickly concluded and also allowing us to remain focussed on our business instead of being bogged down in the intricacies of employment law.

CEO, Creative AgencyWe engaged Alex May to help us with a delicate employment situation. From the outset Alex was approachable and knowledgeable, guiding us through a difficult process with maturity and sensitivity. Alex understood the need to ensure we were legally compliant, but that we were also dealing with a human being, so empathy was of equal importance. I would highly recommend Alex and Clarke and Son as a whole.

A big thank you to Alex who dealt with matters in a very prompt and professional manner in which he was always on the front foot in dealing with my HR department. Alex really understood my risk vs reward position and communication style very quickly and that helped me get exactly what I needed out of matters in terms of compensation.

Jon Radford, Managing Director, Windsor & Eton BreweryWe recently completed on Woody’s Bar in Kingston. We required legal advice regarding TUPE and Licensing for this transaction which Alex May was on hand to support us at every turn. I have dealt with plenty of similar transactions, but Alex’s guidance, advice and support was far superior to anything I had experienced before. He is now our go to person to ensure confidence in delivering transactions and our Employment and Licensing needs efficiently and correctly.
