Our services are tailored to meet the needs of employers and  HR professionals, offering a comprehensive range of support. We are your trusted partner in fostering a compliant and cohesive workplace, advising on all matters of employment law, as well as managing professional discipline cases in regulated industries.

We have a proven track record in handling unfair dismissal and discrimination claims, some of which have attracted national attention for their successful resolution. Our team delivers excellent results in these challenging areas of law, always keeping the end goal in sight. We are trusted by our clients to act on time critical and commercially sensitive matters, minimising disruption and avoiding lengthy Tribunal processes wherever possible. We are committed to protecting your interests and achieving the best possible outcomes without losing focus on what truly matters.

Our approach goes beyond templates. We offer bespoke advice designed to align with your business objectives, balancing the legal complexities against the commercial and financial considerations.  Our innovative smartHR retainer service takes this one step further, giving businesses access to personalised HR and legal expertise with the added optional protection of legal expenses insurance.

In addition to working directly with clients, we also regularly support other law firms in the Durham and North East region who may not have our expertise. This collaborative approach ensures that even when another firm requires assistance with complex employment matters, they can rely on us to deliver high-quality, technically sound advice.

Our team is also dedicated to keeping you ahead of the curve in this ever-changing area of law. We deliver regular employment law seminars and provide training at key intervals covering, case law updates, government changes, and actionable insights tailored for business leaders and HR professionals.
