 We are happy to provide a free health check on current employment contracts. Simply send us a copy of your standard contract and we will contact you to discuss our views and a quote for any work that may be necessary. Many Tribunal claims are lost due to poor procedures - it is worth ensuring that contracts are properly drafted and take into account changes in the law.

In-house training is provided on all aspects of employment law - tailored to the needs and procedures of the individual company. Please contact us to discuss your requirements. Occasional training days open to individual delegates are held in and around York - please ask.

Work is charged for at an agreed hourly rate or, by agreement, on a fixed fee basis. As a small specialist practice, we are able to charge competitive rates.
