Willans LLP has launched a HR support consultancy to assist businesses of all sizes with both their day-to-day and strategic HR requirements.
The service, which is supported by external consultants, is aimed at both national and local organisations who would benefit from joined up thinking and guidance from their legal and HR advisors, as well as those in need of additional resource or unable to take on certain investigations internally due to their sensitive nature.
By providing a seamless service, with both legal and HR advisors working together, Cheltenham-based solicitors Willans can ensure their clients benefit from a consistent approach and outcomes are delivered as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
The HR support offering was devised by the firm’s employment and business immigration team – recommended by national guides The Legal 500 and Chambers UK – who noticed that they were often contacted by businesses for help with their HR needs.
Head of employment and business immigration, Jenny Hawrot, who has been named a ‘next generation partner’ by national independent guide The Legal 500 commented:
“After a few years of successfully running this consultancy behind the scenes, we’re delighted to officially launch our HR support service as part of the firm’s offering. It’s a pleasure to work with organisations based both in Gloucestershire and further afield, and it’s really rewarding to be able to offer this extra level of support to help them manage their people and ultimately achieve their business goals.”
Work undertaken by Willans’ carefully selected HR consultants includes workplace grievance procedures, assistance with TUPE and redundancy processes, policy and process reviews, staff training and leadership programmes, employee engagement and recruitment support, development of HR strategies and more.
In October, our employment and business immigration team covered the latest updates in employment legislation in a free autumn webinar, which is now available to watch on demand. The webinar is aimed at directors, senior executives, HR professionals and in-house legal advisors.
If you or your business would benefit from joined up guidance between HR and legal advisors, get in touch with Willans to find out more.
About Willans LLP’s employment & business immigration team
Multi-national companies, SMEs, owner-managed businesses and third sector organisations choose to retain our employment law solicitors for ongoing support, consistently. It could be because we are noted in independent legal guides for our exceptional knowledge. But primarily, we find it is because of our responsiveness, and the level-headed, sensible, commercially-aware advice we give.
That, and the fact that through building a long-term relationship with our clients, we come to understand their individual organisational culture, enabling us to act as a seamless extension of their own HR function.
Whether it’s helping employers with employment disputes or difficult employees, or navigating employers through the rules on sponsoring foreign workers, our employment lawyers have years of experience to help your business.
We produce a regular bulletin which we can deliver to your inbox, Employment Law Dispatches, that highlights changes in employment legislation to help keep employers on the right side of the law.
