The benefits of using Lawrite HR services

When you become a Lawrite client your business can benefit from:

Legal compliance

You will have the complete toolset – documents and information – to help fulfil all your legal obligations and avoid costly and time-consuming disputes or Employment Tribunal cases.

The chances of an employer being taken to an Employment Tribunal have increased three-fold over the last decade or so.

Employment law and HR documents

We will supply contracts of employment and staff handbooks, agreements, forms and letters to use when dealing with staff and contractors.

We can take instructions and produce the ready-to-use documents for you as part of our "hands-on" Managed HR service, or you can choose to produce your own documents using our templates that can be customised and edited to suit your requirements.

Lawrite’s contracts of employment, staff handbooks and other documents have evolved from our team's many years of experience in legal practice.

Many employment disputes occur because important areas of the employer-employee relationship have never been clearly documented in a properly-drafted contract.

Most Employment Tribunal cases are lost because employers have not followed basic procedures. 

Guidance and advice about employment law, HR issues and health and safety

We will give you guides and manuals with more than 700 pages of information and guidance about employment law, HR issues and health and safety guidelines. It’ll all be easily accessible on your PC desktop via our user-friendly employment law software package.

If your subscription includes it, you can also get unlimited access to our Legal Advice Line. Staffed by practising solicitors from our associated law firm, it provides advice about employment law, commercial law and health and safety law.

Lawrite Managed HR clients get an enhanced level of legal and HR support, with an assigned solicitor as their named contact for legal support.

Protection from Employment Tribunal claims and legal representation

Using our "best practice" systems to ensure you have the right documentation in place, including clear policies and procedures to cover equal opportunities and discrimination issues, and having unlimited access to practical and pragmatic advice from lawyers will considerably reduce your chances of being taken to an Employment Tribunal.

To further lessen the potentially devastating financial penalties and disruption a Tribunal case can impose on your business we can put in place a legal expenses insurance policy which will protect you from the costs of defending a claim and will also cover compensatory awards.

Health and Safety

We provide a detailed health and safety policy statement, which also forms part of the staff handbook, and risk assessment forms, as well as written guidance. Health and safety law advice is also available from our legal advice line.
