What my clients say


  • Keith was a great asset to our company in a recent court hearing, he gave us sound advice from the beginning and represented the facts well in court which helped us secure a successful outcome.

    Emma Felton, Contracts Manager, Ash projects and Contracts Ltd

  • I strongly recommend Keith, he is a professional and pragmatic barrister. He understood my particular situation very quickly and proposed a realistic solution straightaway. He has a lot of experience advising both employers and employees and that is an advantage regardless if you are one or the other.

    Ivor Thomas, Group Operations Director, Hankinson Painting Group

    Nicos Ladas, Managing Director, The Lords Hotel, London

  • Keith is a robust barrister, with a pragmatic approach to the tribunal process. He is always willing to listen and advise with an objective viewpoint on the merits of the case.

    Rashmi Chopra, Solicitor, Sterling Avram LLP

  • The advice has been excellent and the support second to none. I hope not to have to call on your services in the near future, but be assured I will recommend you to anybody in the industry who finds themselves in a similar situation going forward.

    MK, Northamptonshire.

  • On returning from a 2 week holiday I was summoned to a meeting with the Head of HR and my immediate Manager. I was simply told that after discussion they unfortunately ‘Had to Let me go!’ I was then told that they had put together a “great settlement deal” and I could take the rest of the day off read through the document contact a Solicitor, sign the settlement and get on with life. This was a new experience to me and I found Keith Webster on line and contacted his office on returning home.

    I received a prompt return call and that evening spoke to Keith Webster directly who informed me that he believed I had a very good case for Unfair Dismissal and his advice was not to accept. Within 48 hours my company was informed.

    Within 30 days I had a substantially increased Settlement offer which on consultation I accepted. I was provided with detailed explanations of various options which allowed me to make the decision I did. This was an extremely stressful situation for me however the calm, professional approach gave me the assurance I was with the right company.

    I have no hesitation in recommending Keith Webster to anyone who is unfortunate to find themself in the same situation.

    MG, London

  • Keith has provided invaluable advice to guide me to obtain the best possible outcome in my situation with my employer.

    SG, Birmingham

  • Having consulted Keith on a personal employment issue I cannot recommend him highly enough. Extremely approachable, knowledgable and proactive.

    RP, West Yorkshire
