Human Resources and Employment Law Consultant
I provide practical, commercially-focused HR and employment law support to UK businesses, helping employers manage people issues confidently, lawfully, and with minimal disruption to operations. With over 20 years’ experience and a law degree, I support organisations through day-to-day HR management as well as complex and high-risk situations such as grievances, disciplinaries, redundancy, TUPE, and employment disputes.
My approach is pragmatic and proportionate: clear advice, tailored documentation, and support that reflects the realities of running a business.
About Me
I am an independent HR and employment law consultant supporting small and medium-sized UK businesses across a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, heritage and cultural organisations, and care settings.
I combine extensive hands-on HR experience with a strong legal framework, enabling me to advise not only on what best practice looks like, but also on what is legally defensible if decisions are challenged. Clients value my calm, methodical approach and my ability to deal with sensitive issues discreetly and professionally, particularly where there is a risk of grievance, tribunal proceedings, or reputational damage.
I work flexibly—on a retained, ad-hoc, or project basis—providing support that is cost-effective, responsive, and aligned to each client’s operational needs.
Human Resource Services
HR Services
I support employers with the full range of core HR functions, ensuring that policies, processes, and people management practices are compliant with UK employment law and fit for purpose.
This includes day-to-day HR advice, contract and policy reviews, absence and performance management, employee relations, and support with workplace investigations. My focus is always on reducing risk, improving consistency, and helping managers make decisions with confidence.
Whether you need ongoing HR support or help with a specific issue, advice is provided in clear, practical terms—without unnecessary jargon.
Complex HR
I provide specialist support for complex, sensitive, or high-risk employment matters where errors can lead to significant legal and financial exposure.
This includes redundancies and restructures, TUPE transfers, disciplinary and grievance processes, and settlement discussions.
Support is structured, evidence-based, and aligned with current case law and statutory requirements, ensuring that employers are well-prepared at every stage and able to demonstrate a fair and reasonable process if challenged.
Contracts and Documentation
Clear, legally robust documentation is essential for managing risk and setting expectations from the outset. I draft, review, and update employment contracts, policies, and handbooks tailored to the needs of your business.
Documents are compliant with current legislation, and designed to support management decision-making rather than hinder it. This includes bespoke contracts, policy frameworks, and documentation for specific situations such as role changes, restructures, or post-termination protections.
I also review existing documentation to identify gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated provisions that could expose the business to claims.
