HELP

Timely fixed-fee support
HELP is our retainer service for HR, employment law and health and safety protection, giving you prompt, clear guidance from experts you can trust. For an annual fee, you get specialist legal advice and a review of your current practices. Plus, the reassurance that whatever issues you come up against in this area, you can turn to us for support.

Access to unlimited advice
We agree the cost of your HELP package with you at the outset, so you can be confident there’ll be no unexpected charges. This fee includes unlimited telephone, email and written advice from our experienced team of qualified solicitors. It also includes regular updates on HR and employment law matters and two free places at all our employment law seminars.

Health and Safety
How compliant is your premises? Check your risk using our calculator.
Ensuring your employees, customers and other third-party visitors are safe on your premises is not only good business practice but also a legal requirement. Our partner Crysp  provides an add-on to your HELP package, giving your business the health and safety protection it needs. Crysp offers a unique portal to fully manage the compliance process, which includes health and safety inspections, fire risk assessments and e- learning tools.

A package tailored to you
If you’d like additional services, we can design a HELP package tailored to your specific needs and budget. This might include, for example, meetings, drafting contracts of employment, employment tribunal proceedings and more. If you’d like the comfort of extra protection, we can provide an insurance package too to cover the legal costs of employment disputes and the cost of settlements or awards.

Packages are based on one of three fixed-fee options:

Option 1: Unlimited telephone, email and written advice for matters relating to HR or employment law.
Option 2: The benefits of option 1, plus preliminary advice (usually up to half an hour per issue) for general legal concerns, including disputes, property and commercial matters.
Option 3: The options above plus Health and Safety advice from Crysp.  Centralise and manage your compliance with an online portal, gain insight and support tailored to your individual requirements.

Migrant workers

Reducing complexity and risk

A shortage of skills in the UK makes recruiting workers from abroad an attractive option. Red tape can make the process laborious and complicated, however, and it’s likely to become more challenging when Britain leaves the EU. We’re here to help.

Ensure you avoid criminal sanctions

As it’s a criminal offence to employ someone who doesn’t have the right to work in the UK, it’s crucial to know and follow the rules. We can guide you through the whole process, helping you to navigate the various procedures and dealing with the red tape on your behalf.

Support for recruitment and settlement

We can also help you to obtain sponsorship licences and certificates of sponsorship. And we can advise you on the most appropriate route to the visa needed for each employee, and the settlement and pre-settlement schemes for EU nationals.
