Superb, realistic, jargon-free, employment law advice. I'd have no hesitation to recommend David Greenhalgh to employees or employers, and indeed have done with other colleagues benefiting from his specialist employment law experience. He is commercially-focused and gives practical advice to solve employment issues. He's professional, responsive and works quickly.
