I recently worked with Harjit Gill from Paddle & Cocks on a difficult employment contract issue involving a former employer. From the outset, Harjit was absolutely fantastic. She not only handled the legal complexities with precision and expertise, but also provided genuine support around the emotional stress that came with the situation. Thanks to her diligence and meticulous approach—examining every detail from every angle — Harjit was able to resolve the matter swiftly with a single, exceptionally well‑crafted letter. The outcome exceeded my expectations and brought the entire issue to a close far quicker than I could have imagined.
I actively recommend both Harjit and Paddle & Cocks to my network. Their professionalism, care, and effectiveness make them an outstanding choice for anyone needing employment law support.

I recently instructed Harjit from Paddle & Cocks to help me with 2 issues regarding employment law and cannot thank her enough for her hard work and dedication to getting both issues resolved. The first was a contract issue with restricted covenants that she was able to argue that they were not enforceable as I was TUPE'd across and the contract should have remained the same. Second was helping with an Employment Tribunal case for unfair dismissal.
I was a senior manager for a local IT company in Cornwall which got bought out by a corporate, and after 12 months I was made redundant. Harjit dealt with the ET, ACAS and arranged a fair settlement figure with the other side. I would not hesitate in recommending Harjit and Paddle & Cocks - they are amazing at what they do. I would not want to be on the wrong side of her!
