ACAS-compliant handling of disciplinary, grievance, performance, sickness, mediation and redundancy cases for UK SMEs. Fixed-fee, scenario-priced. From £495 per case.
WHEN THE PROBLEM IS ALREADY HERE
Five scenarios where SMEs most often trip into an unfair dismissal claim, and where one good HR consultant pays for themselves in a week. We chair the meetings, write the letters, build the case file, and keep you out of the tribunal.

It is that they did the right thing the wrong way. Wrong process, wrong paperwork, wrong outcome letter, and the whole thing becomes evidence against you in front of a judge.
We run the entire process for you. ACAS Code of Practice compliant throughout. Every letter drafted, every meeting chaired, every decision documented. You stay focused on the business.
Five scenarios. Five fixed-fee starting prices. No retainer required.
PICK YOUR SCENARIO
From £795 + VAT per case
The classic SME tripwire. An employee has done something serious, or has raised a formal complaint, and you need it handled by the book. We investigate fairly, hear properly, decide and document.
You get:
From £1,495 + VAT
The hardest conversation in a small business. You have someone who is not bad enough to dismiss and not good enough to keep. The route through it is a fair capability process, but it has to be done right, or the dismissal at the end is indefensible.
You get:
From £495 + VAT per case
The single most common reason SMEs come to us. Someone has been off for weeks. SSP is running. Cover is stretched. You do not know whether you can act, and you definitely do not want a disability discrimination claim.
You get:
From £1,295 + VAT
Most workplace conflicts are not legal problems. They are people problems. Two team members who cannot work together. A manager and a direct report who have stopped trusting each other. Mediation is a structured conversation, run by a neutral, that gets the parties to articulate what they need and what they can offer.
You get:
Three structured sessions across one to two weeks. Confidential, voluntary, without prejudice.
