Sharon Abbott has contributed to two employment tribunal cases for which my company provided instructions to Regency Chambers. Throughout, Ms. Abbott exhibited exemplary attention to detail and provided valued analysis of core matters. I found Ms. Abbott able to demonstrate her knowledge in a refreshingly accessible manner that invited understanding without prejudicing detail, and to be consummately professional. Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending Ms. Abbott for future work on employment matters.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your exceptional professionalism and dedication during my recent legal matter. Your expertise and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout our interactions. From our initial consultation to the conclusion of the case, your clear communication and thorough understanding of the law were invaluable. Your ability to navigate complex legal issues with ease provided me with confidence and reassurance during what was undoubtedly a stressful time.

We wish to thank Counsel Sharon Abbott for her assistance in this matter and wish Counsel to know that our client was extremely pleased with the robust and, at the same time, sympathetic, approach of Counsel in dealing with this matter.

It was a pleasure speaking to Ms Abbott yesterday on the phone. I am grateful for her time, help and for genuinely listening to my concerns. I have met several legal professionals through my journey so far and I must say that communication with Ms Abbott is outstanding. I am grateful for her caring and understanding and treating me like a person instead of ''a case'' or counting the seconds/minutes of our interaction. It is a huge difference and she stands out. Thank you!

I have used Sharon on a number of my cases, but one in particular was quite a tricky case. My client was extremely vulnerable having fled a relationship characterised with domestic abuse. Sharon throughout has been excellent. The way she helped and supported my client at court was above and beyond what she needed to do... I will absolutely continue to use Sharon and I know that my client in this particular case also wanted to pass on her thanks, as she too thought Sharon was excellent.
