Testimonials
Vital and his team were recommended to me, and I was very pleased with their competence and care in the management of all aspects of my case, from the outset through to a very successful conclusion. My situation was extremely complex in both nature and detail, but with his valued experience and thorough knowledge of employment law, Vital was able to clearly identify and explain the relevant legal issues. Despite the complexity and scope of the claim, all communications from Vital and his team were timely, professional, and efficient. I cannot speak highly enough of ELS.
Vital and his team were very competent and knowledgeable with my case. They were able to help and guide me through to a very successful conclusion. I would definitely recommend ELS Solicitors. The charges were very reasonable for the amount of work and effort they put in.
Vital and his team provided me with invaluable council and guidance through a very stressful unfair dismissal case with my ex employer. They were very professional and understanding and were there all the way during a very stressful time 2. After such a journey I was glad that justice prevailed and I could move on. I would not hesitate in recommending him and his team
Excellent service – pervious reviews guided my choice to use ELS and I was not disappointed. I certainly recommend ELS as they are approachable and maintain a high standard of care for their clients!

Highly professional team who looked after my best interests at a time when unexpected change was forced upon me. No ‘legal technical jargon’, just sound advice at a good price. I’d also like to call out Dipa and Vital for their joint efforts – nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

October 25, 2023I cannot say what a huge support.Vital, Ashmina and the team were in helping me navigate an incredibly challenging employment matter. The advice and support they provided was invaluable, based on years of experience and expertise. More than that, I felt hugely supported and reassured at each step. This was a journey that I did not traverse alone and I am grateful for a positive outcome that enabled me and my family to move on.

November 25, 2021Vital recognised that I was unfairly dismessed and correctly informed me that I have a high probability of a successful appeal. The appeal went ahead as planned, seamlessly and effectively with a great outcome. Thank you.

February 10, 2024I’ve had the pleasure of working with Vital twice now over the last few years, and has always given astute, knowledgeable advice in a hassle free manner, ensuring things are done efficiently. Hope I don’t have to use his services again, but if I do, I’ll be heading back to ELS Employment Solicitors.
