Partner, solicitor-advocate and co-Head of the Employment department at Machins Solicitors: I am a facilitator and not a blocker and provide advice that is both commercial and practical.
Great to see so many clients and contacts at our Machins Solicitors LLP HR Breakfast Club meeting in Luton this morning. Clearly a great topic this month as everyone stayed to continue the discussion well after the breakfast was officially over. #Neurodiversity was the topic that got everyone so engaged. We discussed best practice for seeking guidance from occupational health and how to consider the obligation to make reasonable adjustments for employees could be classed as a disability.

🌿 Mediation: A Positive Alternative to Court 🌿 Court can be long and costly, but mediation offers an impartial, collaborative way to resolve disputes. Our accredited mediators, who are also experienced family law solicitors, guide both parties to decisions that suit their needs. Mediation can happen at any stage, helping with single issues or all aspects of separation. Even if it doesn’t resolve everything, it often narrows disputes for smoother next steps. Our Senior Consultant, Richard Phillips recently received fantastic feedback for his exceptional work in a recent mediation!
