Unlimited day-to-day employment law support, delivered by lawyers

Our employment law support has been delivered to hundreds of businesses across the region and nationally for nearly 15 years. We have an incredibly loyal client base and are trusted to provide commercial, decisive advice. And we know how important it is to deliver exceptional service on time to you and your business.

We also appreciate that every business is unique. Our support allows you to pay for just what you need, and is adaptable over time as your objectives change.

Need a presence on site with support in the background?

For various reasons, many businesses operate without a dedicated HR department. This could be because the overhead is not justifiable given the size of the business, or managers may be more empowered to deliver personnel management directly within their teams.

Our flexible support provides human resources management in whatever way you need it. We can be your administrators in the background, we can run processes on site – it's all about supporting your business and your individual needs.

Cloud-based portal to manage and administrate your staff

Underpinning the advice we give is award-winning software, delivered in partnership with Breathe HR. The cloud-based application is exceptionally user-friendly and allows you centralise employee data, manage holiday requests, allow employee access with self-service functionality, monitor and manage sickness absence, generate reports and much more.

The software offers a flexible, secure and reliable way to manage, advocate for, and communicate with your people. It's the perfect solution for keeping on top of the day-to-day, and for maximising employee engagement. The software provides the rich data you need to inform your strategic decisions, nip any problems in the bud, and realise every potential. Planning and consistency couldn't get any better.

Protect your business against the cost of defending claims

Taking up our support can protect your business as far as possible in preventing claims from your employees. Where litigation is commenced, though, we offer an insurance product which adds peace of mind for your business by protecting against the defence costs and awards of settlement or damages.

The abolition of fees in the Employment Tribunal has resulted in an almost immediate increase in the number of claims issued. The Tribunal regime can be attractive to claimants in circumstances where there is little financial risk to starting a claim; taking out our support and insurance helps you to fight back.

Commercially focussed, robust support when you're on the ropes

Protecting your business extends to circumstances where your business faces an Employment Tribunal claim. Disputes can be a significant concern, but we pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive, commercially focussed service.

No matter what the dispute is, we use our expertise and resources to represent you in the best way possible. We take control of your claim at the outset, leaving you to concentrate on your business priorities.

Our approach considers not only the merits of your defence, but also the commercial context to the situation, and the outcome that is in the best interests of your business. Such is the range of employers we act for, we appreciate that the objectives can vary greatly, particularly taking into account cost, time, personnel and commercial sensitivities.

We've got the knowledge – build a tailored programme or choose a one-off module

We are proud of our close association with the local business communities in the areas we operate and, as part of this, we always have seminars and training on the go. We deliver presentations to individual clients on and off-site, to business contacts centrally at our offices, in partnership with other organisations and to trade associations and professional groups.

If your people need training in an area of employment law or human resources management, we can help. You might want a one-off presentation to all of your staff or you may want a structured programme for a group of managers; our aim is to be as flexible as possible in meeting your needs.

We're here when you need us for ad hoc support or project

Our fixed employment law support isn't for everyone; you might just have a one-off issue that you need some help with, or you might simply want to bend our ear from time to time. We are happy to support you whenever you need us.

It is important to ensure that the decisions you are making are underpinned by expert advice. Free resources can only go so far in informing your choices and unforeseen risks may be brought to the surface further down the line.

Don't take a chance; get in touch and let us protect your business.
