Following a very difficult employment situation, and at a time of high stress, James was incredibly easy to talk to. He clearly explained my employment rights and gave me clear advice and guidance on my options. His advice also covered how to protect my reputation and career and I was able to move forward with a clear plan of action. This was a very difficult time for me and James' guidance was invaluable. I would hope not to need James' services again but if I did it is very reassuring to know he would be on my side. I highly recommend him and Slate Legal. More...

James Moss of Slate Legal represented me in an employment matter where I had faced discrimination. From the outset he acted in a very professional manner. He intuitively understood the situation and applied his obvious abundance of experience and legal knowledge in this field to negotiate a substantial settlement. He went above and beyond my expectations, not only with the outcome but how he achieved this, by the gathering, the preparation and the presentation of the facts leaving nothing to chance. Thank you so very much James for going someway to turning what was a very distressing situation around, helping me get some 'closure' and doing this with professionalism, intelligence, hard work and an instinct for what is right. All the best, Caroline. More...

Slate legal was referred to me by a friend. I am extremely satisfied how my requirements were dealt with. All correspondence were expedited in a timely fashion and when some of the details were incomplete they were quick to notify the other party of their shortfall. I would highly recommend Slate Legal.

What do you love most about your job?
Providing expert employment law advice and helping clients achieve their objectives.
What inspired you to start your own business?
During my career, I’ve seen both good and bad examples of how to run a law firm. I’ve taken the best bits and adapted them to create Slate Legal. Business owners, managers and employees need to be able to access high quality legal advice at a price they can afford and in a way that is flexible and relevant to them. But many law firms are slow to adapt to modern and sustainable ways of working. Slate Legal isn’t one of them. I’ve always wanted to set up my own business and doing this in my home city of Newport is the icing on the cake.
