How Christine helps
Employment law often touches more than the legal question. A conflict, dismissal process or period of sickness can create uncertainty about income, reputation, continuity or relationships at work. Christine helps structure the situation, weigh the risks and choose an approach that is legally sound and workable in practice.

Approach
Good advice starts with listening. Christine first maps out what is happening, what matters to the client and which outcome is realistic and desirable. Then she sets out a clear route: what can be done now, what needs preparation and where the risks lie.
FAQ
Legal advice can make a real difference early in a process, for example before signing a settlement agreement, having an important conversation, building a file or agreeing to changed employment terms.
No. In many employment law matters, a practical solution is better than proceedings. Christine first considers whether consultation, negotiation or a clear letter is enough. Litigation remains an option when it is needed to protect the position.
The first contact explores the situation: what happened, which documents are relevant and what you want to achieve. Christine then discusses possible routes, expected steps and points of attention for communication or negotiation.
Transparency matters. The required work is discussed in advance, including whether a short review is enough and how the costs relate to the importance of the matter. Where possible, clear agreements are made about scope and next steps.
