Richard Hiron

In a former life, I was sent across England and Wales, helping businesses - and particularly businesses that had to comply with regulations set for their industry on top of employment law - to manage how they interacted with the people working for them.

This allowed me to combine the knowledge base and know-how of being a qualified employment law solicitor with the sort of practical, on-the-ground application of an HR professional.

As a self-employed, practising solicitor, I now bring those two skillsets to help my clients on a remote basis, which is more cost-effective for them.

Examples of the kinds of clients who I have helped in this way include:-

- law firms;

- banks;

- accountancy firms;

- independent financial advisers;

- tech companies;

- marine companies;

- ship builders;

- manufacturing companies;

- schools, multi-academy trusts and colleges;

- tuition providers;

- charities;

- surveyors;

- hospitality businesses; and

- independent HR practices.

I also work with employees where they have been offered a settlement agreement by their employer to bring any claims that they might have against their employer to an end (usually in redundancy situations and in exchange for financial compensation) to ensure that they get the best possible advice on what rights the employee is being asked to sign away.
