HR & employment law advice

Offering HR and employment law support solutions, as well as a full range of health and safety services.

Regardless of their size, employers are responsible for ensuring that their HR processes are compliant with employment law. Businesses frequently have to deal with the consequences of getting it wrong, with over 117,000 employment tribunal claims lodged in the past year*

Equally, with health and safety, by having five or more employees, businesses are also legally required to keep written policies and risk assessments for managing compliance. They must also provide suitable and sufficient training to their staff, regardless of employee numbers.

HR and Employment Law Services

HR Retainer Packages

AHR’s retainer packages offer HR support solutions that are comprehensive, yet cost effective. They provide access to legally compliant employment documentation and unlimited HR advice, alongside a range of additional features, including on-site visits, access to Breathe’s HR management system, and a market-leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).

Three different retainer packages are available, and each one can be tailored to suit individual business requirements.

HR Consultancy

Professional on-site support is available from AHR’s team of consultants, who have years of practical consultancy experience. Rather than being prescriptive, they work closely with organisations to identify the problems they face, aiming to provide a solution which relates closely to unique risk factors and cultural values.


Examples of completed projects include investigations for disciplinaries and grievances, assistance with TUPE transfers, management of redundancy programmes, delivery of training, and completion of recruitment and selection exercises.

Tribunal Support and Employer Defence

AHR’s team of experienced solicitors can guide you and your clients through the process of facing an employment tribunal claim, providing advice and support at every stage. Their Employer Defence service also gives protection against legal representation costs and compensatory awards, with these covered by AHR Consultants subject to terms and conditions.

Breathe – HR Management System

Through AHR, you and your clients can access Breathe, which is a cloud-based HR management system. By keeping employee information in one place and automating time-consuming admin tasks, Breathe helps to improve efficiency across all levels of an organisation.

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

Employees benefit from a free 24/7 support service if you choose AHR’s market-leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), delivered in partnership with CiC Wellbeing. This service provides confidential advice for mental health, stress, bereavement, and more.

 Leadership and Personal Development Training

AHR offers people management and personal development training, giving managers and supervisors the skills to operate effectively and professionally. This includes CPD-accredited courses, such as Recruitment and Selection, Managing Equality and Discrimination, and Managing Disciplinary Procedures.

H&S Consultancy

With consultancy support from AHR, employers can attain peace of mind in crucial areas of health and safety, while continuing to focus on running their business. All solutions are developed with unique organisational risks in mind, allowing compliance to be delivered through bespoke solutions.

Examples of completed projects include implementing H&S management systems, delivering bespoke fire safety training, completing H&S audits, and carrying out fire risk assessments.
