Would it be attractive to have this service for your recruitment operations or HR issues, but without the cost of employing expensive lawyers?

The Lawspeed helpline gives rapid answers to questions across the recruitment, employment, compliance and dispute spectrum.

Manned by a team of expert lawyers, this highly acclaimed service is available from 0900 to 1730 each working day.

Costs are charged on a time basis, minute by minute (rather than 6 minute or 15 minute blocks as is normal in the legal industry). Once registered as a client, no retainer or minimum usage is required.
