Law Firm Launches Online Employment Law & HR Service

Leathes Prior Solicitors are pleased to announce the launch of the newly improved online version of their hugely successful EMPLOYMENTOR service, which can be found at www.employmentor.co.uk.  Over the last few years, EMPLOYMENTOR has evolved and grown, along with its subscribers, from its purely paper based manual and CD Rom to the finely tuned and user friendly online package that is launched today. Originally designed to cater for the small and local business market, EMPLOYMENTOR is now being used by businesses all over England and with the launch of the website its success and coverage will only continue to grow.

In today’s litigious climate, employers are increasingly being made aware of their responsibilities and obligations towards their workforce, often when it is too late and matters have already reached the Employment Tribunal. In a bid to achieve management systems within their businesses and consequently avoid the pitfalls of the UK’s ever-changing and often complex employment laws, Leathes Prior have found that their employment law experts are in increasing demand as employees become more and more aware of their rights and their apparent ease of access to the Employment Tribunals.

EMPLOYMENTOR is aimed at employers nationwide, of all sizes, and offers businesses a complete administrative tool for handling the recruitment and management of their staff, whilst ensuring that they comply with all their legal requirements. The new website provides subscribers with an array of templates, precedents, model letters and general procedural guidance on each stage of the employment process, and is backed by a telephone and email helpline staffed by qualified lawyers who, unlike many call centre type competitors, benefit from their day to day experiences as active employment lawyers.

Since its inception a number of years ago, EMPLOYMENTOR has increased its take-up across the UK significantly and now has subscribers nationwide, from Devon to North Yorkshire and beyond. Local subscribers include Purcell Miller Tritton LLP, the Theatre Royal, Signs Express and TaxAssist Accountants (the latter two of which are also national franchise networks, a particular area of specialism for EMPLOYMENTOR and Leathes Prior generally).   The 2007 edition of the Legal 500 guide to the legal profession has praised EMPLOYMENTOR as an "invaluable employee management service which is growing impressively”

EMPLOYMENTOR is the brainchild of Dan Chapman, Partner and head of Leathes Prior’s Employment Team who commented, “I am delighted with the new website which is a vindication of all the hard work put in by many of my colleagues over the last few months. I think EMPLOYMENTOR certainly reflects the change in approach by employers towards HR by providing the proactive, commercial and user friendly interface that they so desperately crave. This demonstrates that a law firm in Norfolk has the capacity to offer a successful and national service that we believe, and as our subscribers tell us, more than rivals what our main and national competitors are offering.   I look forward to introducing our new service to our many current and loyal clients, but also to new employers of all sizes.”
