Managing employment relationships can be challenging
HRExtra gives you access to our specialist employment solicitors at Coffin Mew for a fixed annual fee and the option to insure your organisation against your legal costs and compensation in the event of an Employment Tribunal claim.
We know that managing employees effectively is one of the best ways of improving your organisation’s productivity and profits. Employment law can be complicated and often changes, which can make your working life more difficult. By helping you to put in place the right documents and supporting you in managing tricky employment issues, we make it as easy as possible for you to get on with what you do best: running your business.
How are we different from other employment law and HR providers?
We won’t be a faceless person at the end of the telephone who has no interest in your business and just provides you with generic advice. We’ll visit you and get to know your business and how you operate. You will have a dedicated specialist employment solicitor whose focus will be to become your trusted adviser.
