I am a Solicitor at Toner Legal, specialising exclusively in employment law.
I advise and represent employees facing some of the most difficult moments in their working lives. Whether you have been offered a settlement agreement, are facing disciplinary or grievance proceedings, have experienced discrimination or harassment, or believe you have been unfairly dismissed, I will provide clear, practical advice to help you understand your options and achieve the best possible outcome.
Employment disputes can be stressful, particularly when your livelihood, reputation and future career are at stake. My role is to remove as much uncertainty as possible by giving straightforward advice, developing a clear strategy and supporting you at every stage of the process. I believe clients should always understand where they stand, the strengths and weaknesses of their case, and the options available to them before making important decisions.
My career in employment law began at Toner Legal, where I worked as an Employment Law Paralegal assisting employees with claims from their initial enquiry through to Employment Tribunal proceedings. After leaving to complete my training contract and qualify as a solicitor, I gained wider experience advising clients across several areas of law, developing strong drafting, negotiation and litigation skills. I then worked as a qualified employment solicitor at a large law firm near Birmingham for over a year before returning to Toner Legal.
This broader legal experience enables me to approach employment disputes with both technical knowledge and commercial awareness. I understand that many clients are looking not only for legal advice but for practical solutions that protect their careers, finances and wellbeing. Wherever possible, I seek to resolve disputes through effective negotiation, allowing clients to move forward without the stress, delay and expense of litigation. Where Tribunal proceedings become necessary, I work closely with clients to ensure they are fully prepared and supported throughout.
I have experience assisting clients with a wide range of employment law matters, including:
- Settlement agreements.
- Negotiated exits.
- Unfair dismissal.
- Constructive dismissal.
- Discrimination and harassment.
- Disciplinary and grievance procedures.
- Employment Tribunal claims.
- Employment Tribunal Preliminary Hearings
- Employment contracts and workplace policies.
Clients often tell us that one of the most valuable aspects of our service is having someone who is approachable, responsive and genuinely invested in achieving the right outcome. I take the time to understand each client’s personal and professional objectives, tailoring my advice to their individual circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether your priority is preserving your employment, negotiating the best possible exit package or pursuing a Tribunal claim, I will work with you to develop a strategy that reflects your goals and gives you the confidence to move forward.

- Representing a senior employee in a sensitive employment dispute involving discrimination and unfair treatment, and negotiating a favourable financial settlement and agreed termination without the need for Employment Tribunal proceedings.
Reviews
Some client reviews for L’wren:
“I would highly recommend appointing Legal Toner as your legal counsel. I received continuous professionalism and clarity of the legal technicality from L’wren Tremayne and Jane. L’Wren provided continuous relevant updates. Integrity this firm possesses; as I also received a legal refund for the unused payment of account I initially paid for.” Ma
