HR Consultancy
HR consultancy from specialist lawyers and HR professionals in London and the South East – helping you manage risk and build capability.
Strategic HR consultancy for employers.
HR mistakes cost businesses time, money and trust. From employee disputes to compliance gaps, getting people decisions wrong can lead to legal claims, reputational damage and stalled growth.
That’s why our HR consultancy helps employers take control – an experienced HR consultant, supported by our expert employment lawyers, can prevent dispute before it arises or prevent escalation, protecting your business and saving time and costs.
Whether you’re a growing SME or a larger organisation with operations across the UK or overseas, our tailored support is commercial, pragmatic and drives better people outcomes.
Practical HR support, with legal expertise built in
Many providers offer HR consultancy. Few offer the added value of qualified employment law solicitors working alongside experienced HR professionals. That’s what sets us apart.
We support HR leaders, in-house counsel and senior decision-makers on everything from day-to-day compliance to long-term workforce strategy. Our team brings not only technical knowledge, but a practical understanding of your commercial realities – advising on risk while focusing on what’s workable.
Where appropriate, our legal experts provide seamless support on issues such as redundancy, disciplinary matters, absence management and performance concerns. This combined approach ensures consistency, avoids duplication, and gives you confidence that your HR practices are defensible.

Helping employers overcome today’s HR challenges.
Employers shouldn’t have to choose between legal protection and practical HR advice – they deserve both, delivered seamlessly. Our HR consultancy is built around the challenges employers face every day.
For some, it’s the absence of in-house HR and the need for trusted external support. For others, it’s about strengthening capability during change – such as a restructure, acquisition or leadership shift. We also support established HR teams seeking legal expertise, additional capacity or a strategic sounding board.
We advise UK-based employers with international ownership, and those in regulated sectors where scrutiny is high. Whether you’re dealing with high turnover, complex rotas, employee relations issues or evolving legal demands, we provide practical, legally informed support to help you manage risk and move forward with confidence.
Our clients include businesses across a wide range of sectors, including financial services, transport and logistics and professional services – all seeking better ways to manage people and protect their organisation.
What we help with
Our HR consultancy service is completely flexible. We provide one-off advice or ongoing support, depending on your needs. Areas we regularly assist with include:
- Advice on equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy.
- Change programmes, including restructures and TUPE transfers.
- Disciplinary and grievance investigations.
- HR process audits and compliance checks.
- HR documentation tailored to your business.
- Policy and contract reviews.
- Performance and absence management.
- Support with employee relations and engagement.
Supporting your people function
Our clients include established HR teams looking for external support and growing businesses in need of HR infrastructure. In each case, we act as a sounding board, a strategic partner and – where required – a hands-on resource.
This approach allows you to make confident, legally robust decisions, while ensuring your workplace remains productive, inclusive and compliant.
We work discreetly and professionally, ensuring senior leaders are supported and protected at every stage.
