Leveraging strong ties with regional companies throughout South and West Wales from its Swansea and Carmarthen offices, the 'customer-centric and knowledgeable' team at Morgan LaRoche provides a 'friendly and professional service' to an employer-focused client base on standalone matters, as well as through the purview of the firm's monthly retainer service. 'Exceptional' team head Hannah Belton has 'real empathy' towards business requirements, ensuring she is a popular choice on advisory matters, as well as for respondents in employment tribunals. Sophie Ray is 'very engaging, efficient and thorough' and like Belton adds extra value by dint of her HR qualification. As well as often taking part in training sessions, updating stakeholders on issues du jour, Ray also regularly provides corporate support and also works with employers in relation to the drafting of settlement agreements.
