Chadwick Lawrence Celebrates 10 Years of Employment Law Success

Yorkshire’s Legal People recently marked the 10^th anniversary of its Employer Support Protect (ESP) Scheme with members of the Employment Law team and representatives from their first ever client, Cutwel Ltd gathering to celebrate a decade in business.

Established in 2005, the Chadwick Lawrence employment department has delivered specialist employment law, health & safety and HR support to hundreds of businesses across the region ranging from small businesses to companies with over 8,000 employees. The ESP team is made up of 8 employment law experts who have developed significant relationships with prominent organisations such as Kwik-Fit, Huddersfield Town FC and Leeds Rhinos.

The Employment law department remains one of the biggest units within Chadwick Lawrence and contributes significantly to the overall income of the firm. The department has been on a fantastic journey over the past 10 years, a result of delivering high quality legal advice as well as maintaining strong, long-term relationships with clients.

In 2014, the department also launched “My ESP”, a fully interactive support service combining years of legal and commercial knowledge with a cutting edge, online app allowing businesses to manage their needs at the touch of a button. The development of the application demonstrates the value the employment team places in making sure that their clients benefit from the latest technology in the industry, as well as on-hand expertise from the team.

Associate Daniel Krigers started with Chadwick Lawrence in 2005 and has played a key role in the success of the employment law department. He said of the milestone “It is a fantastic achievement for the team to reach ten years in business. Our success over the past ten years is a result of gaining the trust of our clients and providing a professional, yet personal service. The ability of the team to now deliver health and safety, litigation and bespoke HR services further strengthens the unique offering we give to our business clients.”

Managing Director, Paul Hawksworth was highly complimentary of Chadwick Lawrence. He stated, “As the first subscribers to the ESP scheme, Chadwick Lawrence have become our trusted advisors and have come to understand all aspects of our business.

The long term success is a testament to the team we have and the value they add to our clients. Here’s to another successful decade”.
