Legal risk assessment for your business

Legal risk assessment for your business

With employment law shifting rapidly, especially with upcoming changes under Labour’s Employment Rights Bill, you could be leaving your business open to serious risk without even realising it.

We can help you to check whether your contracts and policies are legally sound and ensure that you’re fully protected.

Here’s what we’ll do:

🔍 Review your contracts and handbook with a fine-toothed comb.
🔍 Check for legal compliance to make sure you’re fully protected.
🔍 Highlight any gaps and tell you exactly what needs fixing (if anything).

As a result, you'll find out what needs updating before it becomes a costly problem, and you can sleep easy at night knowing everything is covered.

Areas of your business that need extra attention:

Sexual harassment:
Laws have already changed, meaning your processes must be updated to comply. More changes are on the way.

Unfair dismissal from day one:
No more two-year qualifying period: employees could claim unfair dismissal from the start.

Right to flexible working:
This is going up a gear and you’ll need to adapt.

Sick pay from day one:
Statutory sick pay will apply immediately, not after four days.

Want us to complete a legal risk assessment for you?

If you want to make sure your business is fully protected, we can help. Get in touch and let’s get everything in order.
