testimonals About Our Employment Service

"We need our lawyers to understand the ever more complex legal requirements faced by employers in the healthcare arena, and then to translate all of that into solutions which work for us. The Kemp Little employment group always deliver no nonsense commercial advice, whenever we need it."

HR Director, Clinovia

"What I like about Kemp Little is that they are interested in how our business works and are therefore able to offer practical solutions to problems which fit with both our business objective and culture. They understand that there is a lot more to HR than employment law and they understand that we are working to a budget and are transparent about their fees. Their online WIP facility means that I am able to track fees to budget whenever I need to, not just when I get a bill, which allows me to retrain total control over our legal spend with them."

Director of Legal, Palm

"Kemp Little recently advised T-Mobile on an outsourcing project involving more than 300 members of staff. As well as having the capability to provide practical and responsive advice on the intricacies of TUPE, they managed to comply with challenging time lines (which included flying to Scotland for meetings at short notice) and demanding business requirements. Kemp Little had the experience to understand all the options and the tenacity to push the desired strategy through and get the deal done."
