PRESS ENQUIRIES AND COMMENTS
We are a small firm of Employment Law solicitors. We work with employees and employers, advising on contentious and non-contentious matters. We work flexibly and collaboratively to provide a high standard of service.
Our Director and Principal Solicitor, Ian Jones, can provide comments and features for press or appear as a speaker on radio, TV and podcasts or at events. We are usually able to respond quickly to press requests for topical matters.
MEET IAN
Ian qualified as a solicitor in 1991 having studied at the Chelmer Institute and the Chester College of Law and set up Spencer Shaw in 2007.
His experience includes taking claims on appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. He was a finalist for Partner of the Year at the Birmingham Law Society Awards 2023 and Businessman of the Year at the Birmingham Awards 2022.
Ian regularly volunteers for the Employment Litigant in Person Support Scheme (ELIPS), organised by the Employment Lawyers Association. He also regularly takes on sporting challenges to fundraise for local charities.
