Blair Toner – Founder, Barrister

Blair Toner – Managing Partner and Barrister I am a specialist employment lawyer committed to ensuring fair outcomes for employees and helping people navigate work related challenges. I have extensive knowledge of all areas of employment law, with a particular focus on employment tribunal litigation and negotiating exits for employees. I founded Toner Legal to help more people access high quality legal support. I represent clients nationwide and have attended employment tribunals across the UK, including Scotland.

Toner Legal was built on the principles that have always guided my practice—outstanding service, clear communication and a results driven approach. We do more than provide legal advice; we take the time to understand each client’s goals and work proactively to help them achieve the best possible outcome as efficiently as possible.

“I’m extremely grateful for the exceptional support and legal expertise of Blair Toner during the most challenging period in my life. After a serious accident and facing numerous legal issues, Mr. Toner served as both a legal advocate and a source of strength throughout.

Blair Toner’s unwavering commitment was remarkable. He was always available and the end of a phone to ease the pressure and provide the guidance I needed. What truly stood out was his empathetic approach, understanding the toll on my mental health and going the extra mile to support and empower me.

Thanks to Blair Toner’s legal expertise, we successfully navigated complex legal matters, achieving a just outcome. His attention to detail and determination were impressive.

I cannot recommend Blair Toner highly enough for anyone in need of legal representation. He excels in his field and genuinely cares for his clients’ well-being. My gratitude is boundless, and I’ll always appreciate his crucial role in helping me navigate this extraordinarily strenuous chapter of my life.”

“When looking to expand, understanding the difference between employees, workers & contractors etc was a challenge. Despite our own best efforts, getting decent contracts in place for new staff was far from straightforward. Toner Legal took care of this issue and will continue to provide all our legal support in the future.”

“Blair is a great Barrister that supported me to win a very difficult case that I had previously spent thousands of pounds with a solicitor before l contacted him directly. He went beyond the required duties to even support me in sourcing funding from external sources to enable me pay for the court fees. His own fees were so reasonable and l wished l met him at the beginning of this case which should have saved me a lot of money.
I really recommend his service to anyone as he is very good and will also be real with you.”

“I came across Toner legal via a Google search online. Sadly I needed their service due to disability discrimination and harassment in the work place. I suffer with anxiety too , however the way Adam conducted himself from start to finish made it less stressful than I initially thought. Although at times I kept email and texting when feeling stressed and confused with how I was being treated by my employer, this was not an issue for Adam. He managed our case and got an excellent settlement.”

“I found Toner Legal while doing a google search and approached them in regards to a work related matter. I was put in touch with Adam Cooke who was a senior solicitor and Adam listened to my issue and advised the best way of dealing with this matter. Adam was very clear, honest and supportive with the advice he provided which in result got me a better resolution to the issue I had. The fees were very reasonable compared to other firms out there asking a lot more. I would not hesitate to recommend Toner Legal to anyone for any work related issues especially Adam.

Jane Underdown

“Mr Toner provided me with an outstanding service throughout my long and difficult case. Always available to communicate with, he never ceased to amaze me with not only his extensive legal knowledge but also his patience/ ability to translate it into easily understandable English. To quote the opposing Barrister at the opening of my cross examination she described our Witness Statement as ‘forensic’ – needless to say we had a very successful outcome. If I had to sum up Mr Toner’s service in just one word – Outstanding – would be the only word I would need. I always felt he was at least one step ahead of the opposition and in the end that proved to be the case. Thank you Mr Toner.”

Andrew Prime

“Earlier this year I had a situation where my ex employer refused to pay what was owed after leaving the employment. The sum owed was in the region of £5000 and I was recommended Blair Toner. From the very first introduction and conversation of the problem, Blair guided me through the process of ‘Small Claims’ and linked me with the necessary forms etc. After winning judgement, still no payment happened. Blair then guided me through the process of appointing Court Baliffs and that resulted in the debt being paid in full. I personally would recommend Toner Legal and in fact Blair has since sorted a similar problem my son had experienced to my son’s total satisfaction.”

Alan Edward Goodes

“I was and still am amazed with a phone call from Mr Blair Toner and all the advice he gave me, after listening patiently to my circumstances. And all that, before I made any commitment to their services. He clarified all my doubts, pointed me in the right direction and the minimum I can do, is recommend their services immensely. This experience, made my day. Thank you!”

Cesar Meneghetti

“I can honestly give Toner Legal a 5 star review and would highly recommend to anyone who has any employment issues. I wasn’t even sure I had a case and the advice and reassurance I was given was amazing. Blair is an amazing lawyer and will give you honest and informative advice. I ended up with a settlement better than I could’ve ever thought possible and keep the number saved incase there is anything I ever need legal advice and representation with in the future.”

Robert Smith

“I have used the services of Toner Legal on two occasions. The service offered to me by Blair Toner was reassuring and with his expertise, guided me through an unfamiliar process ensuring I was involved at each stage. While I was going through my case, he would suggest things that I could read or listen to online that could assist me. His extensive employment law knowledge is a huge resource and it meant I would get the best possible outcome. It also made the navigation of a system far less daunting due to his attention and professionalism. I would have no hesitation in recommending Toner Legal and their services.”
