An employment law company for businesses with fixed-fee, high-quality support
Partnering with a reliable employment law company for businesses in the UK is crucial for businesses facing workforce challenges. Traditional law firms might seem like the only option for accessing specialist expertise, but at WorkNest, we provide the same high-quality advice for a fixed fee. This ensures that you gain access to professional employment law services at a fraction of the cost, with complete cost certainty.
What matters is receiving the most suitable UK employment law compliance advice, feeling supported, and understanding the benefits from the outset. We combine professional, personalised support without any unpleasant surprises and with our unique service, you’ll benefit from:
A dedicated, legally-qualified Employment Law Adviser: You will be assigned a named professional from our experienced team, most of whom are qualified solicitors or members of CILEx. Your adviser will get to know your organisation, how you operate and the specific challenges you face so that they can support you as an extension of your team.
Unlimited practical advice: We offer a constant source of advice and guidance, covering day-to-day employee relations issues such as sickness absence, to more complex challenges such as redundancy and TUPE.
Fixed fees, even if your organisation grows: As a truly transparent employment law company, we’re upfront about our costs, so you can call on your advisory team as often as you need to without the worry of hidden charges or expensive hourly fees.

An employment law company for any business situation
With expert guidance, your business can manage legal risks and ensure compliance with UK employment laws. That may help you avoid expensive disputes and legal challenges from unhappy employees.
In the worst case scenario, missteps can lead to an Employment Tribunal claim. Unfortunately for employers, now that Tribunal fees have been scrapped, there’s nothing to stop litigious employees pursuing legal action. With the average award for unfair dismissal sitting at almost £14,000 and discrimination claims costing closer to £30,000, the cost of going it alone can be significant. Of course, as well as the impact on your bottom line, there’s also reputational damage to consider.
But it’s not all about legal risk. Employee relations issues can impede productivity, affect morale, and contribute to a high turnover. They put a strain on management, destabilise your workforce, and ultimately affect your ability to deliver on key objectives. If you’re not an Employment Law expert, the time and stress involved in dealing with your people problems can become a considerable burden — one that will only increase as your organisation grows.
Good legal advice, on the other hand, helps employers avoid these pitfalls. It enables them to handle risks effectively, streamline their operations, and make informed decisions. This not only ensures compliance with the law but also contributes to a healthier work environment and a stronger, more resilient business.

Our team includes more than six times the number of qualified solicitors compared to larger competitors, each with over five years’ experience;
Your dedicated adviser ensures you always have expert guidance and reliable support when you need it.
Fast, effective legal support
You’re taking a reactive, rather than proactive, approach to employee relations matters, allowing problems to occur then paying to fix them;
You’re without day-to-day support and therefore have to find the answers to your queries yourself or resort to guesswork; and
You pay by the hour, meaning you can expect a significant bill whenever professional help is needed, especially if the issue is complex.
