Employment and HR law

Our focus

Employment laws are becoming more complex and changes are implemented on a regular basis. If you employ staff you need to be aware of the obligations placed on you as an employer. Failure to do so can have far-reaching financial, commercial and reputational repercussions.

We make it our business to be ahead of the game and work with our employer clients to protect their position.

We act in a supportive role for organisations across all sectors and make it our business to get to know yours to gain in-depth understanding of your needs.

Whether you have a dedicated HR lead in-house looking for external HR support or need fuller assistance, we’re on hand to help. We can work alongside you at senior management level or provide discrete advice in the background. Employment/HR law is a high-risk area where, for certain, you cannot get enough support and should certainly not be assigned to someone without specialist experience or training.

Unlike some other HR support services, we can offer the full spectrum of advice up to and including dealing with complex tribunal or redundancy/restructuring situations. We also offer one point of contact and work with you to understand the specific needs of your business.

We can tailor the level of support to match your needs and budget which can flex from issue to issue.

We also offer a combined package of employment/HR law together with employment protection insurance via a third party insurance provider which may be of interest to you.
