How we work

A clear, structured process

  1. Step 01

    Scoping

    A short conversation to understand your business, sector and the matter in hand.

  2. Step 02

    Written advice

    Risk assessment, options and a proposed course of action, with fee estimate.

  3. Step 03

    Implementation

    Documented process — investigations, hearings, negotiation or, where required, litigation.

  4. Step 04

    Close-out

    Final documentation, lessons learned and any recommended updates to policies.

Fees & funding

Transparent, considered fees

Employer work is typically time-recorded, with fixed fees available for defined pieces of work (contract packs, settlement agreements, standard policies). Retainer arrangements are available for businesses that require regular support.
