There are many reasons why more and more businesses are instructing employment lawyers to act on their behalf and become an extension of their team.
With London employment lawyers working with businesses large and small, spanning all industries and markets, the need for professional advice and intervention is growing.
But where is the boundary, and what can you expect from a professional employment lawyer in terms of tasks and support? In most cases, they can do a lot more than you might think!
Without further ado, here are three of the best tasks to outsource to a professional employment lawyer.
1. Inhouse Training
From the latest developments in the world of employment law, to understanding how to act in different scenarios when faced with disciplinaries and other disputes, there’s a lot to stay on top of when it comes to the legal side of running a business.
When you work with an outsourced professional law team, they can deliver training to your HR team and senior leaders, managers, and ground workers – ensuring that everyone is on the same page and feels confident in their role and responsibilities.
2. Contract Proofreading and Editing
Another task that professional employment lawyers are well versed in delivering and supporting clients with is the curation and editing of contracts and legal documents.
From contracts between employers and new employees, to the terms and conditions that are sent to suppliers, clients, and customers, having a legal professional cast their eye over all formal documentation is a valuable benefit to working with a legal team.
With employment lawyers able to work on a long term basis with your business, or complete tasks as and when you need them to, you can outsource all document proofing, or just new contracts as required.
3. Tribunal Representation
Tribunals are not everyday occurrences for most businesses, as they tend to be a last case scenario for employers and employees who cannot reach a settlement that both sides agree on following a dispute.
As such, preparing for a tribunal is not something that most businesses have experience in, which can make a pending case especially stressful for those involved.
Outsourcing the representation of your business / company to a professional employment lawyer doesn’t just relieve the pressure from your senior management team – it also adds a layer of protection for your businesses reputation. One of the benefits of having your company represented by a legal professional is their ability to manage the process in the least damaging way.
You can unlock all of these benefits and outsource all of these tasks to an employment lawyer, by tapping into an annual retainer agreement or by outsourcing work on an ad hoc basis. Get quotes from your chosen lawyer by reaching out to them directly.
