Legal services for Recruitment Agencies
Supporting recruitment agencies
With many end clients depending on their agency for advice and guidance around due diligence and compliance, it can be difficult to provide assurances without compromising your own position on risk. We can help provide security and transparency with expert legal and compliance advice on key areas such as IR35, alternative workforce solutions and assistance on a wide range on contractual matters. We work with you to ensure that all compliance risks are mitigated.
Stay ahead of the game and provide your clients with the broadest range of talent available to suit today’s business challenges.
Oversea engagements
US Contracts
Are you looking to engage with US clients to source perm/temp workers who have the right to work in the US? We’ve got you covered. Our legal advisors, including our US/UK dual qualified lawyer, have experience in offering advice to recruiters who are looking for new opportunities and considering plans for international growth.
When considering overseas engagements, particularly in the US, it is important to understand the difference in the employment culture between the UK and the US. Whilst termination “at will” is commonplace in the US, it is also a highly litigious culture. To mitigate this risk, we can help to ensure that your terms and conditions with US clients are robust and protect you from US specific risks such as misclassification.

Recruitment Law
Anyone involved in recruitment will know there are a number of essential areas of legislation to consider during the normal course of business. We can offer advice on The Employment Agencies Act, Off Payroll Legislation, The Conduct Regulations, Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) and Working Time Regulations.
Supply chain audit & integrity
As a key part of the full contractor supply chain, you’ll know how critical it is that all parties are compliant with legislation.
Our belief is that all parties should be given the same advice in an open and honest way. It’s only with this degree of transparency that the integrity of the supply chain can be maintained. After all, the rules don’t change so the right advice is critical to working compliantly and in the best interests of all parties.
