Steen & Co Employment Solicitors' aim is to provide a quality alternative to the employment law departments of large firms of solicitors. We only provide employment law advice.

Our clients range from multinational corporations and quoted companies to small and medium sized enterprises, non governmental bodies, executives and high net worth individuals.

Clients mainly come from recommendations and in fact in 2005 over 80% of new clients used us as a result of a recommendation from an existing client. We also receive referrals from accountants and management consultancies and, for marketing purposes, make use of Google.

Please note that Simon would always like to hear directly from like minded and experienced employment lawyers who are interested in a job.
