"Thank you, thank you, thank you. After two previous advocates and several months of trying to reach a fair outcome with my employer, you responded to my call for help with 100% professionalism, empathy, consideration and respect. The previous advocates were dismissive of my suggestions about how to present my case, you were not. They wanted a ‘quick win’ so they could move onto the next case, you worked patiently with me to structure arguments that were going to get me the best result. Your skill as an advocate was evident; often these matters get emotional but you helped me stay objective. I have no hesitation, whatsoever, recommending you to others."

"I rang Kam in distress, undergoing a very stressful situation within my work place. I had no idea what to do or whom I could ask help from. Kam was incredibly supportive, kind and communicated with me effectively. She worked extensively and maintained professional integrity aswel as was friendly and supportive towards myself. I feel very blessed to have had Kam work alongside me and help me sort the problems out. I was very grateful for everything she has done for me. Thank you Kam"

"Although this wasn't one of your 'rubik's cube' scenarios, without your help, I would have been rail-roaded for sure and maybe a written warning. And that's why the review stated you're No.1 in your field, Thanks for having my back🙏😇 And so, allow me to complete our journey with a direct quote made famous by Dom, from the Fast n Furious movie saga: "No matter if we win by an inch or by a mile, winning is winning"

" I was made redundant during the Covid lockdown of 2020 without any consultation. I subsequently raised a personal grievance with the employer which was rejected out of hand. I then approached Kam Bailey who agreed to act as my advocate. Eventually the case went to MBIE facilitated mediation which was not successful, so application was made to the ERA who issued a favourable determination in May 2022. This was challenged by the employer who then took the matter to the employment court. Under Kam's guidance we opted for a Judicial settlement conference at which a settlement was reached. This whole process took over two years and during this whole time Kam has worked tirelessly advocating for me and assisting with the avalanche of legal documentation required. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kam as an advocate who goes above and beyond for her clients in seeking fairness and justice"

“I greatly appreciated Kam’s warm and empathetic, yet dynamic approach. She provided valuable advice from the outset of our engagement and made me feel supported from start to finish. I felt she was in my corner unconditionally and worked hard to try and achieve a favourable solution. I would highly recommend her to anyone in a position of considering raising an employment-related personal grievance.”

AB
“Words can not express my gratitude and appreciation for Kam. She was able to step into my very tricky and complicated situation with ease. Kam completely understood me and was able to verbalize my thoughts. Her reassurance, kindness and dedication are worth far more than the great outcome we achieved. If it wasn't for Kam, I truly don't know where I'd be. She was my lifesaver.”
