Feedback

“For anyone looking for an outstanding employment barrister then look no further than Dravin Bheemah. I have worked with many barristers in my professional life and they have been all very competent and capable. However, if you are looking for someone who has compassion and will absolutely go the extra mile, then this is the barrister for you. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a barrister who cares.”

“Having worked alongside Dravin for 12 months on a particularly complicated Employment Tribunal case, I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the excellent service received from Dravin Bheemah. He has continually gone above and beyond the call of duty ensuring we, as his client, were extremely well supported. His legal knowledge was astute yet pragmatic and gave us confidence in the representation we received from him. I cannot recommend Dravin highly enough and would not hesitate for a moment in re-engaging him should the need arise.”
