Retained Employment Law Services for Employers
Mulberrys Solicitors offers comprehensive retained employment law services to support employers with consistent, expert legal advice. This service is ideal for businesses looking to stay legally compliant, reduce the risk of costly disputes, and have peace of mind knowing that experienced employment law professionals are on hand whenever needed.
What Is a Retained Employment Law Service?
A retained legal service is an ongoing relationship between your business and our legal team. Rather than paying per hour or per case, you pay a predictable monthly fee to access a range of legal services tailored to your employment needs. It’s like having your own in-house legal department—without the overhead.
Why Employers Choose a Retainer
Employers opt for a retained service for many reasons:
- Predictable costs: Budget confidently with fixed monthly fees.
- Proactive compliance: Regular policy reviews and HR support to stay ahead of the law.
- Immediate access: Get legal advice on disciplinary actions, grievances, contracts, redundancy, and more, when you need it most.
- Continuity: Work with the same solicitors who understand your business inside out.
What’s Included in Our Retained Service
Our retained employment law packages are flexible, but typically include:
- Unlimited telephone and email advice from employment solicitors
- Review and drafting of employment contracts, handbooks and HR policies
- Support with disciplinary and grievance processes
- Guidance on redundancies, restructures and TUPE transfers
- Employment tribunal representation (depending on package)
- Updates on changes to employment law affecting your business
- Training for managers and HR professionals (optional add-on)
Who This Is For
This service is ideal for SMEs, growing companies, HR teams, and busy business owners who need reliable, expert employment law advice without managing everything in-house. Whether you employ 10 people or 300, we’ll tailor our service to your size, structure and sector.
