What does Dale Langley & Co do? We are a small firm of lawyers set up mainly to assist employees facing issues like redundancy and other employment issues, working with the client to resolve the situation as cost-effectively as possible but without compromising the standard of work.
What were you doing before becoming your own boss?
I worked for two large City law firms for fifteen years too long…however I have to admit the experience of looking at things from the other side is very useful to me now.
What are your plans for the business in 2009?
There is a lot of pressure to expand the business, and we are often approached by those seeking a merger, but our main aim is to stay “niche” with gentle and controlled organic growth over the next year.
What one general employment legal advice or tip do you have to offer to those who are facing redundancy and negotiating their package?
Sorry this is going to sound like a plug, but the best advice is to take a little advice early on rather than a lot, later on! Until you have advice – try to listen and take notes only.
What is the one thing you could not live without in your daily routine?
I could list so many, but the truth is you can pretty well live without most of them if you have to. Probably the best tool for our business is currently e-mail, and I guess I would now miss that more than most. In fact when a client is not on e-mail everything takes much longer!
