Contracts, handbooks and policies that hold up; disciplinaries, grievances, redundancies and TUPE run correctly the first time; and a retainer that gives you a solicitor to call before the letter arrives, not after.
Handled entirely in writing. No hearings, no meetings, no attendance required.
Written reply within 24 hours. Trademarks filed within 48 hours of instruction. Documents in days, not weeks. Never "3 to 5 business days" just to hear back.
| Item | What it covers | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Employment contract | Drafted for the role, probation, restrictive covenants, IP assignment and confidentiality done properly. | from £425 |
| Staff handbook & policies | The core policy set, drafted to the ACAS Code and your actual practices. Contract + handbook bundle £950. | from £1,100 |
| Disciplinary or grievance support | The process mapped, letters drafted, and each step advised, so the file defends itself later. | from £650 per process |
| Redundancy programme | Selection, consultation and documentation for a compliant redundancy exercise. | from £995 |
| TUPE advisory | Transfer analysis, employee liability information, and consultation documents on a business or service transfer. | from £995 |
| Employer retainer | Priority access, document allowance and process support on call, monthly. | £750/mo |
Bespoke and urgent matters outside the schedule: £650 per hour, capped estimates in advance. Corporate retainers from £995/month.
Because the incentive should be to finish your problem, not to bill it. A disciplinary supported at £650 costs less than one hour of a City employment partner, and an unfair-dismissal claim costs multiples of the whole schedule.
Usually the gaps only show when someone leaves badly: no enforceable restrictive covenants, no IP assignment, notice terms that don't say what you think. A contract review is the cheapest audit your business will buy this year.
Yes, drafting on the employer side at £650, and the protected-conversation approach advised before you have it. See the Where an exit is agreed, settlement agreement drafting for employers is quoted on enquiry.
A solicitor who already knows your business, answering the 20-minute questions that prevent the £20,000 problems, plus the document allowance and priority turnaround set out in the retainer letter.
