Independent HR Advice for Employers.

Small and medium size businesses can rarely justify the costs involved with  setting up and running a fulltime Human Resource (HR) department. But most employers will inevitably have to deal with some HR or employment law issues, and the cost of getting things wrong can be very high.

As specialist solicitors we can provide your business with bespoke and reliable advice on all types of employment law and HR problems.

The cost to your business of getting HR wrong.

If the worst happens and an employee starts an Employment Tribunal proceedings, on top of the cost of defending the claim  businesses may then have to pay out thousands of pounds in compensation. Depending on the type of employment claim the average cost of compensation awards can be in the region of:
​

• £12,362 average compensation awarded for Unfair Dismissal
• ​£17,040 average compensation awarded for Race Discrimination
• £23,478 average compensation awarded for Sex Discrimination
• £17,319 average compensation awarded for Disability Discrimination
• £1,080 average compensation awarded for Religious Discrimination
• £17,515 average compensation awarded for Sexual Orientation Discrimination
• £11,211 average compensation awarded for Age Discrimination
