Employment Law Package - Oakwood Solicitors Ltd

Solutions for businesses of all sizes

We have a wide range of clients who are currently benefitting from our service. Some are family-owned small businesses, where we function as their primary HR contact or liaise with the person responsible for company HR.

Other clients have much larger businesses and have us as additional support for their existing HR teams, or to handle issues where they feel unable to do so.

Our package includes a range of services, including:

Employment Law Compliance

We will provide you with up-to-date advice and guidance on all aspects of employment law, including discrimination, harassment, TUPE and health and safety regulations.

Our specialist team will enable you to properly understand the legal landscape and ensure that your business is fully compliant with all relevant legislation. Everything is provided directly to you at an affordable, fixed monthly or annual cost.

24/7 HR Support

Our HR support services are designed to help you manage your employees effectively. From recruitment and training to performance management and disciplinary procedures, we are here to help you every step of the way.

We will also provide you with out-of-hours support, as we understand that not all issues are confined to working hours. This lets you focus on the success of your business, not your HR.

Contracts and Policies

We can provide you with a range of bespoke employment contracts, tailored specifically to your business. Our expert team will work with you to ensure that your contracts fully comply with all relevant legislation.

Our team can also help you create an employee handbook that outlines your policies and procedures, as well as the culture and values of your company. This will help to ensure that your employees understand their rights and responsibilities and work towards a positive working environment.

Price Match and 6 Month Trial Offer

We are so confident your business will benefit from our expertise, that we do not tie you into long-term contracts with automatic renewals like most firms that offer like-for-like services, and are happy to offer you a 6 month initial period to try our support package.

In addition, we will match the price of any other solicitor or HR consultant that offers you a like-for-like service.

By choosing our Employment Law and HR Package, you can be confident that your business is fully compliant with all relevant legislation and that you have the support you need to effectively manage your workforce.

Further information about our Employment Law and HR Package

What happens next?

We understand that the needs of each client and their work and management styles may differ. Therefore, we make time to get to know each individual, to better understand them and build a positive relationship.

Oakwood Solicitors emphasises the importance of having an initial consultation with all key stakeholders to get to know them and their needs and goals for their business, ideally before undertaking any legal work.

This initial consultation allows us to really understand how our business clients operate.

What documents can we draft as part of the Employment Law and HR Package?

Bespoke Contracts of Employment
Staff Handbook
Family Friendly Handbook
Privacy Notice
Other bespoke HR policies

Our team will also draft any necessary documentation required for your business such as: disciplinary invite and outcome letters, grievance invite and outcome letters, redundancy consultation letters, maternity leave letters, furlough letters and whatever else may be required.

Why do I need insurance and what does it cover?

If the offer of unlimited advice and a dedicated team of lawyers on hand at all times to advise you is not enough, our package can provide Legal Expenses Insurance to protect your business in the event of an Employment Tribunal claim. Employment Tribunal representation is the ONLY aspect of Employment Law not covered by the fixed fee retainer.

Due to the abolishment of the requirement for employees to pay fees to bring Employment Tribunal claims, there has been a sharp rise in claims against employers. Sadly, this rise has continued since the COVID-19 pandemic. The average cost of defending one claim is around £8,000 +VAT per case – which an employer is unlikely to be able to recoup from the employee, even if the employer successfully defends the claim, and the claim was without any real merit.

The package is available without the insurance if you prefer, or perhaps have existing cover under one of your other insurance policies.

How is the price calculated?

Like the services we offer, we tailor our pricing to each company’s unique needs. This ensures that you are only paying for the exact services you require.

If you need any extra services from us we are happy to discuss amending our contract with you at any time.
