Affordable Policies and Contracts

Getting the legals right at the beginning can make a big difference to the long-term success of a business. Ensuring that good contracts and policies are in place will save time and money in the long-run and protect the business from employee or other contract disputes. Burnetts provides affordable suites of employment law documents and web documents to keep new businesses compliant.  Details of the policies we offer can be found here. 

Health & Safety

Complying with Health and Safety legislation is perhaps one of the biggest worries for a small business. To ease those concerns, we have developed a B Safer Health & Saefty package especially for small businesses. 

Coming soon - Protect yourself from the costs of an Employment Tribunal Claim. We will soon be offering a tailor made insurance package to cover legal fees in the event of an Employment Tribunal Claim being made against you.
