No amount of internet research or reading can prepare you for dealing with the everyday problems involved in managing people.

Carrying out a grievance investigation, holding a disciplinary hearing or conducting a redundancy process can be challenging for even the most experienced in-house HR professional, especially when they involve long-standing or close colleagues.

Outsourcing the work to our HR team helps protect working relationships and brings independence to difficult processes.

We not only have specialist lawyers, but also highly experienced human resources consultants, so that you have access to a full range of advice and guidance.

We can provide you with employment and HR documents and with support for day-to-day issues or specific projects - whether this means outsourcing your HR function or using our team for advice and assistance for your in-house staff.

Our HR work includes:

• Disciplinary/grievance investigations, reports and hearings
• Redundancy processes, including consultation meetings
• Contracts, policies and procedures
• Performance management
• Dealing with difficult working relationships
• Absence management, including occupational health referrals and return to work interviews
• Mediation
• Trade union consultation and negotiation
