George was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I had an urgent requirement, so we met on Teams. He was clear, understanding, supportive and incredibly knowledgeable! I can't recommend Rothera Bray more highly! Next time I need legal support, they will be my first call (hopefully not for while!). 10/10!

George helped me with every step of the process when I was facing redundancy, offering invaluable advice and helping me to complete the settlement agreement from my workplace. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend George and Rothera Bray to expertly handle matters, particularly for Employment law/redundancy services.

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help and guidance throughout this process. Your advice made a huge difference and gave me the confidence to understand the agreement properly, ask the right questions, and make an informed decision.

I had the pleasure of dealing with George Cokkinos. I can honestly say he made everything easier, everything was explained professionally and he made sure I had an understanding throughout. He was able to advise me around what I needed and much more. To say he’s one of the best, is an understatement. I will happily present people with his details if they’re in need. Thanks again George!

I had the absolute pleasure of dealing with Will for an employment matter. He’s been superb from start to finish, putting me at ease during a very difficult time. If I could add more than 5 stars I would. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Excellent service and advice from Lauren Kilbride at Rothera Bray Solicitors. Her advice was comprehensive, timely and professionally given. It made my decision making easy and the advice was delivered in language easy to understand. I would have no hesitation in seeking her services again should I require them.

Will Trotter dealt with my case, he was very professional and he was always willing to help, his knowledge and advise was very reassuring and he made it very easy to understand the situation.

At a challenging time, I had reached out to multiple solicitors for guidance/advice. It was Lauren who stood out from the rest. Lauren offered me advice with my situation without me having to her appoint her as my solicitor. It was because of that advice and the better outcome of my situation, that I did with gratefulness, engage with Lauren to be my solicitor. Lauren was professional, effective and efficient in a timely manner. This brought the outcome to a close and for me to move forward. Although I hope not to be in this situation again. I would not hesitate to reach out to Lauren, if it did.

I had a really positive experience working with Will during my employment redundancy. He took the time to clearly explain all the legal jargon in a way that was easy to understand, made sure I was fully aware of my options and offered guidance wherever I needed it. What could've been a very stressful and overwhelming process felt much more straightforward and manageable. I'd highly recommend Will to anyone needing expert and approachable employment law advice.

George picked up my case following an initial telephone conversation with him at Rothera Bray Solicitors. It was quickly established my case could be accommodated and completed in line with the settlement date my former employer was seeking. During the Teams meeting, George took the time to understand the situation. He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable, clearly explained everything and suggested a change be included, that would forewarn me should any future Tax Indemnity demands arise. He communicated and successfully got this accepted by my former employer. George was on hand to answer any questions and did so promptly. He was friendly, efficient and professional throughout the whole process and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both George and Rothera Bray to expertly handle matters.
