Lawson West Solicitors is delighted to announce a new partnership with Citizens Advice LeicesterShire, enhancing employer support services with a suite of high‑quality, legally compliant HR policies at fair prices.
As Employment Rights Act major reforms come into force, employers across Leicestershire will need to ensure their policies and processes are fully compliant with the new legislation. Many smaller businesses and VCSE organisations do not have access to specialist HR support, and we recognise the pressure this can create.
Supporting employers through HR policy change
Citizens Advice LeicesterShire has developed a paid service designed to support employers across Leicestershire with their HR function. Many smaller businesses and VCSE organisations do not have access to a dedicated HR team, and the upcoming implementation of the Employment Rights Act will create additional pressures and uncertainty for employers. As the new legislation comes into force, employers will need to ensure their policies, processes and documentation are compliant, up‑to‑date and aligned with the latest statutory requirements.
In partnership, Lawson West Solicitors and Citizens Advice LeicesterShire have created an affordable and accessible service that removes the barriers often associated with traditional HR support.
There are no retainers or membership fees, and pricing is transparent and fair, shaped around the budget an organisation has available.
To support the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector and SME’s, there is access to a discounted rate to ensure smaller organisations can access high‑quality HR guidance at a cost that reflects their resources and community impact. The service has been designed to offer clear, accessible expert guidance at an affordable rate for VCSE and SME organisations.
Working with Citizens Advice LeicesterShire allows Lawson West Solicitors to demonstrate our expertise in employment law, combined with our commitment to community access to essential employment law contracts and updates, ensuring employers can access trusted, up‑to‑date HR policies and advice when they need it, direct from the experts.
Vaishali Thakerar, Director and Employment Senior Solicitor at Lawson West Solicitors, said:
“This partnership brings together our legal expertise and Citizens Advice’s deep understanding of community needs. By providing clear, reliable and legally compliant HR policies, we aim to give employers the confidence to manage their responsibilities effectively and create positive, fair workplaces for their teams.”
Together, Citizens Advice LeicesterShire and Lawson West Solicitors are committed to helping organisations and employers across Leicestershire build safe, fair and high‑performing workplaces that benefit both employees and the wider community.
