One to One helpline


Employment issues are notoriously sensitive and delicate. Issues can
blow up suddenly. You might need advice straight away in order to fully
understand your legal obligations and to talk through with us just how to
handle the situation.

This is where our one to one helpline can help and you will receive advice from one of our qualified lawyers when you contact us ensuring consistency and allowing us to build a sound understanding of your business.

You can contact us by telephone or email and we will help solve your problems and get you back on track.

Employment Disputes Insurance


As part of your fixed fee we can offer you an insurance product
which means that if a Tribunal claim is lodged against you, our
fees for defending the claim are paid by the insurance company, as
are most awards of compensation. With awards ranging from a
conservative few thousand pounds to unlimited sums, no wonder you
want to remove the risk and with this service you will do exactly that.

For a budgeted annual cost, the insurance provides indemnity
against awards of compensation and legal fees up to £250k per claim.
