Our cost-effective, value-driven, employment law solution for builders merchants and suppliers. Here’s what BMF Intelligent Employment Plus includes for a fixed annual fee:
Employment lawyers to the industry
Working with the Builders Merchants Federation, we’re the recommended employment law experts providing practical, straight-talking advice to builders merchants and supplier members.
What makes us industry experts?
With over 10 years working with builders merchants and suppliers to the industry, we’ve advised on pretty much everything possible (employment law related, at least!). Since we’ve been advising builders merchants and industry suppliers we’ve:
- avoided every one of our builders merchants and suppliers (that’s over 80 of them) from paying any compensation payment at tribunal;
- delivered employment law advice in respect of over 10,000 employees within the industry;
- saved our builders merchants and supplier clients tens of thousands of pounds in legal fees with our fixed-fee solution, BMF Intelligent Employment Plus.
How we work
We start our advice by suggesting our clients forget about employment law for a moment and share with us what a good result looks like in respect of the particular situation they want to discuss with us. Didn’t expect that, did you?
Once we know what our client wants to achieve we work through the options available and the associated risks of managing the relevant employment laws. We then suggest the best approach.
If you like the sound of that, you’ll love BMF Intelligent Employment Plus.
