Solicitor

Contact Mohammed

I am an Employment Solicitor based at our head office in Bury.

With seven years of dedicated experience within Employment Law, I have honed my skills and expertise to effectively navigate the intricacies of this legal domain. Throughout my career, I have represented and advised small and medium-sized enterprises in pursuing claims at the Employment Tribunal and in Civil courts.

In my previous role, I held the singular responsibility of being the sole Employment Solicitor. This encompassed the comprehensive management of claims on behalf of both Respondents and Claimants. The spectrum of cases I handled ranged from routine matters involving unlawful deductions to more complex issues such as director disputes.

One aspect of my professional journey that I take immense pride in is my involvement in large-scale class action claims, representing thousands of clients. Notable successes include handling cases for employees of entities like Arcadia Topman/Topshop, Flybe, BritishVolt, Misguided, Made.com, Peacocks Store Limited, Tufnell’s Parcel Express Limited, Tolent Consurtcuation and Go-Centric. I have been actively engaged in these cases from their inception to their successful resolution.

I take pride in my meticulous attention to detail, coupled with a practical approach to solving problems. My methodology consistently revolves around prioritising my clients, guided by their objective and executed with the utmost sensitivity.

When I am not in the office I love taking spontaneous trips around the UK but mainly going up to Scotland to see family.

The service was professional, with clear communication and a thorough explanation of the legal aspects, which gave me confidence in the process. While the focus was primarily on reviewing and advising on the agreement itself, the support provided was reliable and efficient throughout. Overall, a professional and dependable service for settlement agreement advice.

    The Best Solicitor Possible. I approached Butcher & Barlow and was forwarded to Mr Balal. I had my initial conversation with him in person, which I can only describe as superb. He was courteous, clear, and direct with his instructions and guidance about what would happen during the process and the possible outcomes. I needed his assurance and opinions, for which I am very grateful. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Straight forward and effective support. From the first phone call, the next day appointment to the completion, there was always great and clear advice and support. Mohammed was always reachable and pleased to help and explain what would be next. Professional advice and support is what will make me choose Butcher & Barlow again should (hopefully not) the case arises where legal representation is required. Special thanks again to Mohammed Balal for his great and uncomplicated yet professional case handling.
