Employment Law – Our Fees
Solicitors traditionally charge on the basis of hourly rates, effectively a 'pay as you go' system. This often works well for employment law advice, which frequently lends itself to discreet pieces of work, as opposed to lengthy transactions. However, Michelmores also recognises the value being able to budget for your legal expenditure, without the worry of a ticking clock every time you call. With this in mind, we offer a fixed cost alternative to our hourly rates.
Fixed fee retainer
Michelmores' fixed fee retainer consists of three elements, which combine to provide your business with proactive, commercial and cost effective specialist HR legal support:
1. A full audit of your existing employment documentation
2. An employment law helpline: around-the-clock telephone and email support from specialist employment lawyers
3. Updates on the latest developments in employment legislation and case law
