Your people are one of your greatest business assets, and you want to support them in the right way. You also want to protect your business, and avoid any unnecessary employee disputes.
We’re your behind-the-scenes legal support system, working alongside your HR team to help you walk that line and keep you on the right side of employment law. We’ll help you make sure employee-related decisions are legally compliant, commercially sound and in-line with your business goals.
Because we don’t do corporate nonsense, we can also help you knock the legal jargon out of employee contracts, handbooks and policies, and turn them into plain-speaking, accessible and even quirky documents that your people actually read.

Dealing with employee-related disagreements can feel tough but with us you’re in safe hands. We can help you handle disputes, disciplinaries and grievances, and if you do find yourself facing a tribunal, our skilled solicitors will guide you through the process and help you achieve the best outcome.

We also specialise in negotiating senior level exits, working closely with our colleagues in the corporate team to help you transition smoothly and manage aspects such as your shareholder rights.
Our fees are straightforward and we offer capped charges should you decide to bring us on board.
