Testimonials

‘This practice stands out not only for its legal expertise but for its focus on client relationships and its innovative approach to legal services. Unlike larger, more traditional firms that might emphasise volume over personalised service, this practice strikes a balance between scale and individual attention. I believe clients appreciate the practice's accessibility and responsiveness.’
‘Working with Miranda Mulligan and her team was an invaluable experience during one of the most difficult and stressful times of my career. Facing redundancy felt overwhelming, and the emotional and financial uncertainty only compounded the difficulty. From the moment I reached out to Miranda, I knew I was in capable hands.'
- 'Miranda Mulligan and her team’s legal knowledge is truly exceptional. They not only have a deep understanding of employment law, but they also possess a clear and thorough approach to navigating the entire redundancy process. Their ability to break down complex legal jargon into clear, understandable terms gave me a sense of security and great support during a time when I felt lost.’
‘This practice provides clear, practical and commercially focused advice that helps us navigate employer-side legal matters with confidence. They take a proactive approach to risk management, offering practical solutions for handling workplace disputes, compliance challenges, and contractual issues before they escalate.'
‘In my view, what makes Longmores unique is their commitment to understanding each client. They have instructed me on behalf of both claimants and respondents, and in both cases their dedication to their clients' interests is second to none.’
‘I've worked with both Richard Gvero and Miranda Mulligan and hugely value their attention to detail and their personal commitment to seeing each case through from start to finish.'
