Why Birmingham businesses choose Burley Law

  • We’re a Birmingham firm, working with Birmingham businesses.

  • We know the local tribunal. We know the hiring pressures our clients are under. And we’re close enough to sit down with you when something needs more than a phone call.

  • You get direct access to the solicitor doing the work. Not a call centre. Not a different junior every time you ring.

  • We work with employers across the city and the wider West Midlands. First hire or full restructure, the approach is the same.

Employment law and HR support for Birmingham employers

Contracts, policies and handbooks

We can help with drafting all your staff documentation to ensure that they are legally on point and fit for your business.

Confidentiality and IP

Information and IP are central to your business. We can advise you on how to ensure that these crucial assets are protected against misuse by your employees and competitors. 

Managing the relationship

The key to unlocking people potential is getting the right framework up front, addressing problems early and getting the process right. 

We can help you with the whole range of issues including recruitment processes, performance and absence management, team dynamics, mental health and disability in the workplace and managing exits.

Business change

The UK legal landscape around business change is complex.  We can navigate you through implementing changes to terms and conditions, TUPE and business transfers, redundancy and restructuring.

Disciplinary and grievances

We can support you when you are dealing with a stressful disciplinary or grievance issue, or we can advise you on a more ad hoc basis as and when issues arise.  

We will act as an independent investigator in disciplinary and grievance situations as required.

Dealing with legal disputes

We can help you with defending Tribunal claims and other types of employment litigation. Depending on your needs, we can offer full legal representation or provide advice, drafting and preparation to enable the business to be self-represented.

What working with us looks like

We get that each business is unique, with its own pressures and priorities.

Our approach is personal, tailored and responsive.

We don’t tie you into faceless subscription products. We don’t sell you things you don’t need. Instead our focus is on understanding your business and giving what you need, when you need it.

You’ll know what something is likely to cost before we start it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only act for businesses in Birmingham city centre?
No. Most of our employment clients are in Birmingham or the wider West Midlands, but we act for businesses anywhere in England and Wales. A video call covers most of what a meeting would.
Do you offer fixed fees for employment law advice?
Where the work is well defined, yes. A contract review or a single disciplinary process can be quoted up front. For anything less predictable, like defending a tribunal claim, we agree a budget and keep you posted against it. No surprises at the end.
What is the difference between HR for business and HR for individuals?

This page is for employers. If you’re an employee with a problem at work, our HR for individuals page is the one you want.

Can you help before a problem becomes a tribunal claim?
That’s most of what we do. A quick call before a difficult conversation costs a fraction of untangling it afterwards.

Get in touch with Liz Burley before a people problem becomes a bigger one.
