HR Services

Our experienced employment lawyers will discuss your business’ specific requirements and advise on the best courses of action on strategic issues, policy matters and on any day-to-day HR queries as they arise.

The application of complex and fast-changing employment legislation and regulations can be challenging and it’s not unusual for businesses, particularly smaller businesses with limited internal HR capability, to feel overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of legal issues around employment. We can help you to navigate that complexity. We will provide advice on the different circumstances that arise in your business, either on a one-off basis or through our retained advice service – whatever is most suitable to your needs. We also offer a fixed-price initial consultation service so that you have a clear idea of the likely and potential costs involved in any action, giving you complete clarity and control. And, of course, we can speak to you in person or remotely, by phone or video conference, to save you time and travel expense.

Getting the documents right

Having up to date policies, documents and processes that reflect the approach of your business is important. It will help to protect your business from claims and disputes and also provide your staff with a clear set of guidelines within which to work, making the operation of the regulatory regime much more straightforward and consistent. With clear policies and processes, everyone knows where they stand, and many potential issues or disputes can be headed off before they gather any momentum. We can provide:

• All contractual documentation, including employment contracts.
• Staff handbooks covering all necessary policies and processes, from recruitment to termination.
• A review of your current documentation and policies and provide recommendations for improvement.
• Specific policies, including:
  • Disciplinary and grievances.
  • Social media.
  • Absence management
  • Flexible working.
  • Diversity, equality and inclusion.
