How we work

The first contact with the firm is a free telephone conversation to understand the client's situation and the service they need. From there, an initial consultation can be arranged to define objectives and explain the applicable grievance or disciplinary procedures, as well as the ways to address them. ELS Solicitors offers an assessment of the strength of the case, possible compensation and the best way to resolve the matter. The firm notes that most of its clients come through referrals, which it attributes to its reputation.

Client profile and cases

Office and contact

The firm operates from its office in South Woodford, London. To arrange an appointment, the firm asks for a preliminary call at no charge to assess the matter and then schedules an initial consultation with a member of the team. At that consultation, the client is informed of the applicable costs if they decide to proceed with the agreed approach.
