Offering access to HR Consultancy, Health and Safety Advice, Pension and Immigration services

Who are our clients?

The team acts mainly for small and medium sized businesses and owner managed businesses in the South East as well as PLCs, including construction, printing companies, garden centres, media businesses, commercial cleaning companies and medical partnerships.

What are our costs?

As well as advising on an hourly rate basis (for which we provide estimates of our overall costs), we also advise on a fixed rate basis for certain work. Costs can be confirmed from the start and are based more on the value of the task rather than the time it has taken to do and gives the peace of mind of knowing exactly what overall legal costs will be from the start.

This applies to our employment documentation review and training as well as our unique Employment Retainer Service in which clients can buy 1 hour, 3 hours or unlimited levels of employment law advice with or without insurance. This includes Employnet which is a legal expenses risk management service, which provides legal advice and insurance protection for awards made in tribunal claims including legal costs for a fixed fee.
