What This Service Delivers
You will receive practical guidance on employment law matters from solicitors who understand both legal requirements and the realities of managing a workforce. We help you navigate workplace situations with clarity about your obligations as an employer, whether you face specific issues or want to establish proper procedures before problems arise.
Our consultations address your particular circumstances, explaining relevant employment legislation in accessible terms and helping you develop appropriate responses. We assist with employment contracts, workplace policies, disciplinary procedures, performance management, and compliance with evolving regulations. You receive written guidance following consultations, giving you reference material for implementation.
The outcome is genuine understanding of your employment law obligations and confidence in managing workplace matters appropriately. You will feel supported in handling sensitive situations, knowing your approach balances business needs with proper treatment of employees and compliance with legal requirements.
The Challenge You Face
Employment law involves numerous obligations that change with legislation updates. As an employer, you need to manage workplace relationships, address performance issues, and handle disputes while complying with regulations covering contracts, working time, discrimination, dismissal, and redundancy. Understanding these requirements without legal training proves challenging, particularly when situations arise requiring immediate decisions.
Perhaps you have encountered workplace situations where the appropriate response seemed unclear. Concerns about making mistakes that could lead to tribunal claims, damage employee relationships, or create operational difficulties are understandable. The volume of employment legislation and the nuances in applying it to specific circumstances make confident decision-making difficult.
What often holds employers back is the combination of complex regulations, concern about mishandling sensitive situations, and uncertainty about when professional advice truly becomes necessary. You need clear guidance that addresses your specific circumstances while building your broader understanding of employment law principles.
How We Approach Employment Law Advice
Our approach centres on understanding your workplace situation thoroughly before providing guidance. We listen to the full context, including your business needs, employee relationships, and any previous interactions relevant to the matter at hand. This comprehensive understanding enables us to provide advice that addresses both legal compliance and practical workplace dynamics.
We explain relevant employment law principles in straightforward terms, focusing on how they apply to your specific situation. Rather than overwhelming you with abstract legal concepts, we discuss what the law requires in your particular circumstances and why those requirements exist. You learn both what you should do and the reasoning behind those recommendations.
The methodology extends beyond addressing immediate issues to building your capacity for managing future situations. We help you develop procedures, policies, and documentation that prevent problems before they arise. For ongoing advisory arrangements, we work with you proactively, reviewing your practices and providing guidance as your workforce and business evolve.
Working Together
Your experience begins with scheduling a consultation, either at our London offices or by telephone. During this session, which typically lasts one to two hours depending on complexity, you explain your situation and concerns. We ask questions to ensure complete understanding, discussing not just the immediate issue but also broader context relevant to appropriate resolution.
Throughout the consultation, we explain relevant legal principles and their application to your circumstances. You receive practical recommendations you can implement, along with explanations of why those approaches serve both compliance and good employment practice. For matters requiring documentation, we can prepare necessary letters, policies, or procedures.
Following consultation, you receive written confirmation of our advice. This documentation serves as reference material when implementing our recommendations or explaining decisions to others in your organisation. If questions arise during implementation, you can contact us for clarification.
You will feel supported throughout, knowing experienced employment law solicitors are available to guide you through challenging workplace situations. The overall experience centres on building your confidence and capability to manage employment matters appropriately while maintaining access to professional advice when needed.
Investment and Value
Our employment law consultation is available at £180 per hour for one-off advice on specific matters. This suits employers facing particular situations requiring professional guidance. For businesses wanting ongoing support, we offer a monthly retainer arrangement at £1,500, providing regular access to employment law advice and proactive guidance on policies and procedures.

The value extends beyond addressing immediate issues. Proper employment law guidance helps prevent tribunal claims, which typically cost businesses substantially more than consultation fees in legal costs, settlement payments, and management time. Many clients find that proactive advice through retainer arrangements saves considerable expense compared to reactive crisis management.
Consider this an investment in managing your workforce appropriately and protecting your business from employment law complications. The confidence and capability you gain prove valuable throughout your business operations, particularly as your workforce grows or circumstances change.
How This Service Works in Practice
Our methodology applies established employment law principles to your specific circumstances. We systematically assess workplace situations against legal requirements and good employment practice, identifying appropriate approaches that satisfy both compliance obligations and practical business needs. This structured analysis ensures thorough consideration of all relevant factors.
Progress is measured by your growing confidence and capability in managing employment matters. Our service succeeds when you understand your obligations clearly, can navigate workplace situations appropriately, and feel supported in making decisions that balance business interests with proper employee treatment.
The timeline varies with situation complexity. Simple queries may be addressed in a single hour-long consultation. More complex matters involving multiple issues or requiring policy development may need several consultations over weeks or months. For retainer clients, we maintain ongoing contact, providing guidance as situations evolve.
Realistic expectations centre on receiving professional guidance that helps you manage employment matters appropriately. We cannot guarantee outcomes in disputes, as these depend on many factors beyond our control. What we provide is thorough advice that puts you in the strongest position possible while ensuring compliance with legal obligations.
Our Commitment to You
We commit to thorough consideration of your employment law matters and clear explanation of your obligations and options. If our advice does not provide the clarity you expected, we will discuss your concerns and address any areas requiring further explanation. Your understanding is fundamental to implementing our recommendations effectively.
For hourly consultations, we track time carefully and inform you if discussions approach the estimated duration. You can then decide whether to continue or schedule additional time separately. For retainer clients, we discuss scope regularly to ensure the arrangement continues serving your needs appropriately.
We also offer an initial conversation at no obligation. During this brief discussion, you can explain your situation, ask questions about our approach to employment law advice, and determine whether our service suits your needs. This helps both of us understand whether we are well-matched for your circumstances.
Our confidence in this service stems from extensive experience guiding employers through employment law matters. We understand the concerns businesses face regarding workforce management and structure our advice to address those concerns while ensuring proper compliance and fair treatment of employees.
