Business Employment Solicitors

Keeping a handle on costs

We also offer a pay-monthly retainer scheme, known as IMD Employer Protect, which provides you with an extensive range of benefits for a pre-agreed monthly cost, including:

• A business health check to review your existing policies and procedures and highlight where changes or additions are needed to ensure they accord with current legislation;
• Unlimited access to employment law advice, however frequently you require it and whether it relates to a day to day HR matter, a one off employment law query or an actual or anticipated employer-employee dispute — all for no extra cost;
• Optional insurance to cover the legal cost of dealing with an employment dispute, including the settlement of any compensation you may be ordered to pay; and 
• Access to an easy to use online software system to enable you to deal with HR issues at the touch of a button and therefore cut down the time spent on HR administration.

By joining the scheme, you will be free to seek legal advice from a qualified and experienced UK or EU employment lawyer whenever you need to and without the worry of how much it is going to cost. If you take advantage of our insurance offering, you can also minimise your exposure to unexpected financial losses stemming from an employment law breach or employee conflict.
