We offer HR support to many different types of businesses and sectors, and he adapts to our clients’ needs with his amazing technical knowledge and commercially focussed advice. He’s easy to deal with, and always responds with pace which is critical in the HR world. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dan and his services”.

Martin Driscoll, Deputy Chief Executive Director Workforce at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
“I worked closely with Dan over 12 years or more, during which time he supported myself and my team. He is a knowledgeable employment law specialist with excellent business awareness. Over the years we worked on challenging individual assignments and collective issues relating to all aspects of employment law. His knowledge, common sense and pragmatism consistently resulted in positive outcomes. His willingness to share knowledge and grow legal competence in the HR team was commendable. He is a first rate practitioner in his field and I strongly recommend his service”.

Dan Weigh, HR Manager at BYK Additives Limited
“BYK Additives UK Limited has been working with dhj legal and Dan Jones for nearly two years, having moved to them from one of the big national legal providers. The drivers for me to want a change were the requirements for an on demand, plain speaking and tailored legal advice provision which I felt we were not getting from our previous legal partner. It’s fair to say that dhj legal and Dan have more than delivered on these principles that we jointly agreed when we started doing business together.
What you get with Dan is an interaction rather than a transaction, a relationship rather than a service. He really wants to understand your business and the issues you are facing so he can provide a range of solutions to attain the outcome you need. Dan is transparent in his approach and with common sense at the heart of his own values he is happy to challenge our business if he feels there are more effective ways of doing things.
Dan has helped me significantly in our journey to bring HR at BYK Additives UK ltd into the modern era. He has provided expert advice, created policy and process and delivered training as required and in doing so has become a confident and a trusted colleague.
I would have no hesitation in recommending dhj and Dan to any business who want the same thing from their legal provision as I did.”
Sara Cogbill, HR Manager at m-hance
m-hance has used Dan’s services for the last two years, he always approaches all issues from a commercial perspective as well a legal one. Dan’s nature means it is very easy to build a good working relationship.
Nick Davies, acting HR Director at Tata Steel UK
“Thank you for your advice over the years. Whenever I have been faced with significant business employee problems I’ve always felt reassured and calibrated by your advice. You have the perfect blend of legal insight and IR sensibility and a healthy dose of humour swizzled in for good measure”.

Nancy Prest, Director at Doodle HR Limited (bespoke HR and training)
“Having taken advice as a HR professional from Dan for years, I can highly recommend him. His advice is pragmatic and not ‘jargon loaded’. Dan is calm and works so well with his clients, he even helped me pass my exams. Would highly recommend Dan and DHJ Legal”.
Paul Martin, Managing Director at British Steel
“Our Company has benefited from legal advice provided by Dan for many years and he has always provided an excellent legal service. He gives easy to understand, efficient and effective advice which balances compliance with employment law alongside the pragmatism of running a large business – often within tight timescales. Dan is also currently providing us with internal coaching courses to upskill both our HR team and Line Management on the key aspects of employment law. We look forward to continuing to work with DHJ Legal in the future”.
David Stewart, Independent HR and Change Consultant
“Initially met Dan (as a client) when he worked at Eversheds and latterly when he headed up the Employment Law department at Corus/Tata Steel UK.
Dan was a most valued member of the management team not only for his depth of knowledge, which is excellent, but for his positive attitude.Unlike many in the Law profession, Dan was never satisfied with simply pointing out constraints and issues to clients, rather he is a problem solver.
In addition, Dan has always been proactive in developing the employment law awareness and capability of his HR colleagues and line managers.
I wish Dan every success in his future career and have no hesitation in recommending him to clients and employers alike”.
