Client Testimonials

Fenton Elliott have enjoyed long-standing relationships with a diverse range of clients from many business sectors. Here is just a small selection of some of the kind words our clients have had to say about us.

Christopher Sutton is able to call upon his previous experience at the Bar to represent clients both in and out of court on family law disputes. He can advise on issues concerning both the financial and children law aspects of divorce and family breakdown.

Christopher is highly experienced and knowledgeable about family court procedures and processes; a highly skilled and formidable negotiator; an expert wordsmith and a strategic thinker.

Always enjoyed my business dealings with Simon, he has an excellent knowledge in employment law but what makes him stand out for me amongst the numerous 'employment lawyers' I have dealt with in the last 10 years is his commercial acumen. Would have no hesitation in recommending Simon to any of my colleagues and business acquaintances.

Chris Sutton dealing with the case was incredible. It is not just about winning or losing, it's about the huge level of pressure removed from my shoulders, knowing that someone you can trust is dealing with everything. Could not be more thankful to him.

Chris Sutton has supported me for the last three years to improve access to my son. Chris is child' centric, and is focused on their best outcomes. For three years we had a clear strategy to deliver my child's wishes and how best to present the case on behalf of my child. Whilst I don't wish for anyone to be in my situation, if they are they should call Chris.

Having known Simon for some 20 years, I would like to say what an outstanding and professional solicitor he is. Attention to detail and his knowledge in his chosen sphere (employment law), allowed me to get on with my other tasks in the knowledge that any HR issues were in extremely safe hands. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone who has issues in the area of employment law. You will be looked after by a consummate professional.

Chris Sutton is excellent. He’s extremely hardworking and his key strengths are giving the client’s realistic advice about what is achievable and he really understands the judges in his patch very well, and therefore he tailors his advice and strategy accordingly.

I have to say you went down a storm! There has been a lot of really positive feedback, a lot of which included high praise for your presentational skills and charisma. On a personal note I and my colleges from the union found the course informative and entertaining on equal levels. I do hope we get to run further courses in the future and our paths cross again. Thank you for an entertaining day.

Simon has always provided great results with the highest levels of professionalism and integrity while maintaining a very personable style

I would not hesitate to recommend Simon to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy solicitor specialising in Employment Law. He has always dealt with every case with the utmost professionalism, on time and efficiently

As well as being an excellent lawyer, Simon 'gets it' when it comes to people. And he's a lot of fun too!

Simon is a first class employment lawyer. I've worked with him on some very challenging assignments and found his expert knowledge invaluable

I have used Simon on a number of occasions for specialist employment law advice. He has excellent knowledge in this area and and is able to communicate it in such a way that I can make an informed business decision based on his recommendations. I have no hesitation recommending Simon and his team.

Simon did a sterling job from start to finish on my employment tribunal case. He was consistent, explained each step clearly as we reached it and, above all, was friendly and used humour appropriately to alleviate the stressful situation. I can thoroughly recommend Simon and his work with Employment law and tribunals.

n a complex and unique case for a client of mine, Simon was fantastic. His knowledge and energy helped drive the case forwards to its conclusion, explaining the sometimes confusing legal points in a clear manner, leaving my client very happy. I'd recommend Simon in a heart beat.

I have worked with Simon for a number of years, most significantly on the Jess Varnish claim against British Cycling. I have always found him to be great to work with and a talented lawyer.

Simon has many remarkable skills - more than I can list in this recommendation. He is an exceptional employment lawyer who will go the extra 10 miles for his clients. He is also an extremely creative and innovative marketer. In between that he can also act a bit - or a lot given the chance. Genuinely one of the best individuals I have really enjoyed working with.

It is always a pleasure to work with Simon - he is very knowledgeable and really invests in his clients' cases. He is a real asset to have on your side.

Simon helped my company through several difficult employment law issues and, at all times, gave excellent advice to ensure that the right outcome was achieved. He is an expert in his field and someone you can trust to guide you through complicated and sensitive problems.

What I want in a solicitor is someone who will fight for me, who is commercial (ie he understands the bigger picture) and who really understands the law. Simon is all of these things. When I have used Simon, his personable and forensically detailed approach put me at ease, and ensured that I achieved the best possible result. Simon was always available, always returned my calls, and nothing I asked was ever too much for him. He was happy and enthusiastic to help me. One of my favourite things about Simon is that comes up with unique, creative solutions that you cannot find in a text book or from your average solicitor. He is able to do this because of his ability to truly understand the needs of his clients and due to the outstanding level of care that he delivers. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone needing employment law advice.

Simon is a quite brilliant commercial employment lawyer. He advises on what to do and how to do it - not on the law. He must know the law too, because he has won every case that he has taken to the tribunal for me. I would only ever use Simon as my employment lawyer.

Simon and his team are excellent at providing advice and support on employment matters. Of course they know the law, but they also provide their advice in a practical and commercial manner and cut to the heart of the problem straight away

Simon knows his subject of U.K. Employment Law very well and has a pleasant and clear manner. His input regarding a very difficult period of Economic downturn and staff retrenchment was a major contributor allowing a smooth and equitable handling of what was a challenging situation. I would most certainly work again with Simon when the need arose.
