Bringing expertise
A firm of solicitors has decided to locate their new business in Croydon in a move that could benefit other local companies. martin searle solicitors, launched in Brighton in 2004, specialise in employment law advice, a service in demand with many companies and employees involved in redundancies.
Based at Bedford Park in east Croydon, the office will be run by martin searle solicitors‘ director Fiona Martin and local employment law solicitor Marsha Thompson.
The firm works with a team of human resources consultants to offer legal and HR expertise, on, for example, restructures, disciplinary procedure and help with recruiting staff.
Fiona Martin said: “We have many new clients from Croydon, including large employers, and it is apparent there is huge demand in this area for our specialist employment law services. There is real benefit for clients – both employees and employers – in being able to get face-to face employment law advice closer to home.
“To help employers safely navigate their way through these difficult times we will be offering our full range of employment law services. In addition, we offer a new fixed-fee redundancy law advice package where clients can get the professional help they need as cost effectively as possible.”
