The nature of employment law is that you will often need timely advice which takes account of the commercial needs of your business. Withy King operates an employment law support service offering unlimited telephone and email advice for a fixed annual fee, delivered by highly skilled employment law specialists.
Having listened to clients’ feedback about their business needs we have restructured our advisory service to be as flexible as possible. We now offer three levels of fixed fee service aimed at providing clients with the level of support appropriate for their business; from access to unlimited telephone advice as and when it is needed, to a collaborative partnership aimed at proactively supporting clients in respect of all employment issues including advising on strategic and operational issues to ensure the smooth running of their business and drafting bespoke contracts, policies and memoranda.
The following sets out a short summary of the key features and benefits of the services for your information and also includes some examples of the positive views that our clients have of the service.
If you are interested in taking up one of the fixed fee services or would like to discuss the best fixed fee service for your business we would be delighted to hear from you.
