Katy, as she prefers to be called, advises corporate clients on maternity and parental rights including flexible working applications, immigration, redundancy, TUPE, disciplinary issues, long term sickness issues and grievances. She is extremely knowledgeable in matters of constructive dismissal, redundancy and disability discrimination.
”Katy was extremely professional and knowledgeable but most importantly understanding of the issues, we felt she cared as much as we did. She was also very responsive and often worked outside normal business hours to make progress as quickly as possible. We have no hesitation in recommending Katy.”
“I have learnt that you can find the greatest talent and support for your business both within your community and in the most unlikeliest of places – in this case the schoolgates! Katy Munn provided me with the legal backup and support I needed to launch my new enterprise Beyondtheschoolrun.com. She not only brought a huge wealth of skill and expertise, she offered an understanding and wisdom beyond the legal framework which was invaluable to the start up of the enterprise. I would highly recommend Katy Munn and would hope to have the pleasure of working together with her for many years to come.”
“Katy Munn provided me with advice regarding a complicated employment matter. Katy impressed me with her ability to understand the crux of the situation and provide me with a clear legal stand point. In addition to this Katy was able to provide me with a few options in how to take the matter forward based on her wealth of employment law experience. I felt empowered to make a decision based on this advice and I confidently recommend her services.”
“Katherine gave me excellent advice and was proactive and personable in doing so.”
“Katy has been incredibly helpful and efficient in dealing with both matters and I will certainly be going to her for future work (as well, of course, as recommending Virtual Law to anyone that needs employment law advice).” Richard Swain: “Thank you Katy, [the person who referred me to you] was right, you are a star….I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Should I have friends in a similar predicament I will pass them your way.”
Thanks again for all your help on this- it's great to have a recommendation from a trusted friend and I've been delighted with how you've help to guide me through this minefield.
"I was recently made redundant and part of the redundancy package was a fee for an employment lawyer. I was recommended, Katy. An excellent recommendation she proved to be. She was very empathetic, whilst being very clear, objective and concise with our appropriate responses. Katy navigated the right lines of sympathy, informality but due legal diligence and objectivity. She was always readily available and in communication when necessary. I would heartily recommend Katy to anyone who has any kind of employment legal issues. Katy is a credit to the profession and your firm."
“Katy has provided advice to both me and a family member, and her advice is always concise, commercial and pragmatic. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Katy provided excellent advice; helped me understand the potential issues in a way that was concise and relevant.”
“Many thanks for your advice and help through the process. I have already recommended you to a few friends.”
