Recognising that businesses need practical solutions rather than legal analysis; we work with you to reach the desired outcome swiftly and with the minimum of fuss. We offer single case services as well as a Retainer service.
Unlike an HR consultancy, all advice provided by Patch Law is covered by what is known as "legal advice privilege", which means it is confidential and does not have to be disclosed, even in court or tribunal proceedings.
We aim to partner with our business clients and create a bespoke service that combines high-quality personalised legal advice with an appreciation for your commercial goals.
A growing number of businesses are taking advantage of Patch Lawโs Retainer Service, where for an agreed period (it doesnโt have to be a year), an experienced specialist solicitor is on hand to answer any day-to-day queries, update contracts and handbooks, draft letters, help you manage challenges such as redundancies or disciplinaries, and to firefight, including defending Tribunal claims if necessary.
This longer relationship allows us to get to know your business, helping you identify people management priorities and nip potential staff problems in the bud. We'll be there day-to-day to guide you through any HR issues or staff queries, so rather than resorting to an anonymous helpline, you can rely on named advisers, providing continuity and consistency.
We understand that you may wish to try us out before committing to a longer-term partnership. Engage us for a single project or piece of advice or for a limited period before you decide on longer term plans. Businesses can also take advantage of our Fixed Fee Initial Advice service if the scope of this is suitable for a particular issue.
Gillian assisted me with my Consultancy Contract. We had a tight deadline but she went out of her way to review it in detail and come back to me with her amendments ensuring that my future business interests were protected as much as possible. She also took the time to follow up after the contract was signed. I highly recommend Gillian for her specialism in employment law.
