Employment law is one of the fastest-changing areas of legislation. People2 delivers commercially focused, rapid-response advice to organisations large and small — without the large law firm price tag.
We work with organisations large and small to develop employment solutions — from policies, procedures and contracts to full Employment Tribunal representation. Our commercially focused team has two Employment Law Consultants and an in-house Solicitor, ensuring you receive legal advice communicated in a practical, jargon-free way.
From day-to-day advisory helplines to full Tribunal representation — we cover every aspect of the employment relationship.
No call centres. No juniors. Just direct, experienced, commercial advice.
You have one dedicated contact and speak to them directly — no call queues, no message-taking intermediaries.
We understand your business goals. Advice is practical and pragmatic, not just legally correct.
Clients tell us they forget they're using an external firm. That level of partnership is exactly what we aim for.
Fixed monthly helplines from £100. Consultancy rates that undercut traditional law firms by a wide margin.
Our small, senior team means every client benefits from decades of real-world experience — not a trainee learning on the job.
