On a personal note, I just want to say thank you.  I know it’s a paid for service we get from you, but there is much more to it than that.  I really do appreciate the help, service and to be honest straight forward approach in dealing with these types of things and the relationship that has been built.  It really is good to have someone at the other end of the phone on these types of things.  Thank you for this, and the continued level of support you provided.  We always have high expectations, and to be honest, you have never let us down.  Thank you.

Thanks Daniel. Keep up the good work with the videos – I’m running my business with the advice you are giving very much in the forefront of my mind.

The biggest problem is the grey areas in the statements released by the government can be read in multiple different ways, throwing confusion on to the shop floor. Everyone is then wanting answers from the management team who have seen the very same statement. Your videos help summarise and cut through the grey.

We are an established business that has always handled its HR and Employment issues internally and without any professional help. We did ok, we got by. However, the business was expanding and we soon realised we needed professional help. We had already been dealing with Chadwick Lawrence on employment law issues where we received excellent service and advice (thank you Sarah), but we soon found that the general day to day HR issues and management was also getting too much, so we subscribed to their Virtual HR/BoxHR package. The service, advice and support we received was all excellent from both Lisa and Lynda. Based on my experience I have no hesitation in recommending Chadwick Lawrence for anyone looking to outsource their HR function.

We have been involved with Chadwick Lawrence for many years and have used many of their specialised legal Departments. Over the last few years we have subscribed to their Employment Law Scheme and used it to great effect.

Earlier this year they represented us in case involving one of our employees and the Chadwick Lawrence Associate who handled the case was Jack Oldroyd, who was excellent in all aspects of the work that was required to be undertaken. His attitude to us as clients and his attention to detail was first class.

We would certainly recommend the company for any legal work and we will continue to use them ourselves.

Chadwick Lawrence and Jack Oldroyd are at present dealing with an ongoing employment matter which has resulted in us having to attend several tribunal hearings. During this process we have been provided with a highly professional and informed service.

Jack has ensured that all matters arising in the lead up to and during these tribunals have been dealt with in a correct and efficient manner; this service has been supported by our barrister who was also recommended by Chadwick Lawrence. I would have no qualms in recommending their services to anyone.

We have partnered Chadwick Lawrence exclusively since 2008 and have truly benefited from having a specialist team acting as a strong guide through the ever changing maze of legal matters and beyond.

For us, having  a team of dedicated specialists who have been able to advise and assist us a large local employer has been a key priority, and something we have retained in spite of huge budget cuts and a funding crisis.

They have devoted time and interest to the college and truly understand our mission, they understand us.  They are of course privy to highly confidential information, and would be consulted on to identify solutions relating to staff, often this can be in an emergency situation.  Their response to crisis is always measured, methodical and solution focused.

 

In short, the company and the team that lead the provision are an example of excellence.

Employment Law Support


Unlimited day-to-day employment law support, delivered by lawyers

Our employment law support has been delivered to hundreds of businesses across the region and nationally for nearly 15 years. We have an incredibly loyal client base and are trusted to provide commercial, decisive advice. And we know how important it is to deliver exceptional service on time to you and your business.

We also appreciate that every business is unique. Our support allows you to pay for just what you need, and is adaptable over time as your objectives change.

Virtual HR Department


Need a presence on site with support in the background?

For various reasons, many businesses operate without a dedicated HR department. This could be because the overhead is not justifiable given the size of the business, or managers may be more empowered to deliver personnel management directly within their teams.

Our flexible support provides human resources management in whatever way you need it. We can be your administrators in the background, we can run processes on site – it’s all about supporting your business and your individual needs.

HR Software


Cloud-based portal to manage and administrate your staff

Underpinning the advice we give is award-winning software, delivered in partnership with Breathe HR. The cloud-based application is exceptionally user-friendly and allows you centralise employee data, manage holiday requests, allow employee access with self-service functionality, monitor and manage sickness absence, generate reports and much more.

The software offers a flexible, secure and reliable way to manage, advocate for, and communicate with your people. It’s the perfect solution for keeping on top of the day-to-day, and for maximising employee engagement. The software provides the rich data you need to inform your strategic decisions, nip any problems in the bud, and realise every potential. Planning and consistency couldn’t get any better.

Employment Tribunal Support


Commercially focussed, robust support when you’re on the ropes

Protecting your business extends to circumstances where your business faces an Employment Tribunal claim. Disputes can be a significant concern, but we pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive, commercially focussed service.

No matter what the dispute is, we use our expertise and resources to represent you in the best way possible. We take control of your claim at the outset, leaving you to concentrate on your business priorities.

Our approach considers not only the merits of your defence, but also the commercial context to the situation, and the outcome that is in the best interests of your business. Such is the range of employers we act for, we appreciate that the objectives can vary greatly, particularly taking into account cost, time, personnel and commercial sensitivities.

Training


We’ve got the knowledge – build a tailored programme or choose a one-off module

We are proud of our close association with the local business communities in the areas we operate and, as part of this, we always have seminars and training on the go. We deliver presentations to individual clients on and off-site, to business contacts centrally at our offices, in partnership with other organisations and to trade associations and professional groups.

If your people need training in an area of employment law or human resources management, we can help. You might want a one-off presentation to all of your staff or you may want a structured programme for a group of managers; our aim is to be as flexible as possible in meeting your needs.

One Off


We’re here when you need us for ad hoc support or project

Our fixed employment law support isn’t for everyone; you might just have a one-off issue that you need some help with, or you might simply want to bend our ear from time to time. We are happy to support you whenever you need us.

It is important to ensure that the decisions you are making are underpinned by expert advice. Free resources can only go so far in informing your choices and unforeseen risks may be brought to the surface further down the line.

Don’t take a chance; get in touch and let us protect your business.
