Thank you to Danielle for all her effort during this process, obviously not one I wanted to be in, but Danielle has made it a much clearer and less stressful one.

Andrew Pedley was the driving force at Blacks LLP. He really made us feel like we were the only case on his desk. No job was too small, and no question was too little to ask. He made me feel like my thoughts and views were valid and also explained situations where I wasn't understanding the full picture.

Georgia was incredibly helpful throughout the process of reaching a settlement with a previous employer. Georgia took the time to understand my personal situation and provided clear, considerate, and professional guidance at every stage. Her support made a complex process much easier to navigate, and I felt reassured knowing I was in capable hands.

Paula was brilliant throughout, providing help, support and advice during an incredibly long and drawn-out situation that should never have reached that point in the first place. I’m truly grateful for everything she did.

Blacks provided an excellent, comprehensive service when drawing up my will and Lasting Power Attorney. Emily Owston was professional and answered all of my questions.

Chris is a great listener, clear communicator and, in my opinion, a genuinely good, kind human being. I have no hesitation in recommending Blacks in Leeds for any legal matters you may have; you'll be in good hands.

I have dealt with Chris Allen recently concerning some rather upsetting and extremely delicate matters. Chris and the team have proved to be reassuring, down to earth and absolute consummate professionals.

Blacks helped us think beyond the sessions by supporting us to consider how the legislative changes translate into day to day behaviours and what this means for our culture in anticipation for our policy to be launched. This has supported follow on training delivery internally surrounding misogyny, misogynoir and trans-misogyny.

We had an excellent experience working with Blacks. From the moment we reached out to request training, they responded quickly and took the time to meet with us early on to understand our needs and the wider organisational context. They were patient and flexible as we worked through our planning.
