Specialist Advice & Support

How We Can Help

Starting or growing a business can be a daunting time, but it does not have to be difficult. As a business owner you will have so much to think about and so often legal  considerations get pushed to the back burner and only revisited when serious issues arise, causing you and your family stress & anxiety, unnecessary diversion of valuable time and resources and unexpected expense. We act for employers only and can help with any aspect of employment law and cad advise and support you in respect of various employment related issues.

Our Fees

Our fees vary depending on your circumstances and your needs. We prefer to work on a fixed fee basis so as to give our clients the peace of mind.

Where the circumstances are unpredictable we may offer you a time based fee arrangement, whereby we charge you for the worked carried out at an agreed hourly rate.

Where we charge you for the services at an hourly rate, we may also offer to cap your fees. i.e. whereby you can spend less, but never more than an agreed amount.

Flexible and Transparent

Whatever the fee arrangement, we pride ourselves in being flexible and transparent with our fees  and these will always be agreed from the onset so there are no hidden surprises. 

Disbursements

If your matter becomes contentious you may also need to budget for counsel fees. We will always advise you on the estimate of what those fees would be.

How We Work

We aim to get to know you and your business. That is why our first consultation is always free.

We work on building long term relationships that are based on integrity, honest advice and dedicated support so that we are able to help you when you need it the most. 

It is important to us that you feel comfortable and confident in our ability to take care of your business well that is why we will always go above and beyond to ensure that your business is protected.

Sometimes you may not need our support and a chat during the consultation will be enough to set you on the right path. However if you need our ongoing support, you will always have a dedicated advisor on the other side of the phone to provide immediate support.

We will assess your needs and will work together to find the best solution for you and your business.

Retainers

Where you need ongoing support, we find that the best fee arrangement is a retainer, whereby for an agreed monthly fee you have access to unlimited legal advice and support. Get in touch to discuss your requirements in more detail.

We do not do hard sell. We believe in long term working relationships where we can witness our clients’ business growth.
