Employment Law and HR regulations change constantly and keeping up with compliance is a challenge for lawyers who specialise in this field let alone those affected.

For business owners or employers struggling to keep up with legal demands while running a business, our team of specialists are on hand to provide a no-nonsense, friendly and approachable service to help you achieve the outcome you deserve.

Our team consists of legal specialists and experienced CIPD qualified experts, who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in business management and managing the HR departments of small to medium-sized businesses as well as multi-national companies. The combined insight and acumen allow us to offer a service that recognises the need for HR and employment law to function collaboratively.

Our team of HR specialists and employment solicitors can guide and advise you on a variety of employment issues.

helping you all the way

As a Business Owner:

Can you afford an in-house employment law or HR advisor?
Do you have someone to turn to for immediate advice and guidance as and when required?
Are you conﬁdent that you are fully compliant with employment law regulations?
Have you considered the consequences of non-compliance?
Are you equipped to deal with a disgruntled employee in the employment tribunal?
Could you afford legal representation?
Would your business cope if the tribunal ordered you to pay £10,812 for an unfair dismissal claim or £266,000 for a disability discrimination claim (average compensation awarded during the year 2019/20)

If you answered ‘No’ to one or more of the above questions, you need to consider safeguarding your business by outsourcing your HR.

We understand that no two businesses are the same and with this in mind, we offer a number of options to suit the size of your business, your budget and your priorities in terms of what needs to be addressed.

As an employer, the ever-changing legislation and the impact of getting things wrong can be a huge burden. With Fairmont Legal on your side, you can focus on your business and leave the rest to us.
