You need senior employment law and HR support. You don't need a full-time hire to get it.
Lomond Legal works with a small number of US employers as a fully embedded employment law and HR partner: fixed monthly fee, no hourly clock running, no surprise invoices.
Book your free employer risk review →Founded by Julie Barnett. Nearly two decades in employment law and HR, advising employers across the UK and United States.
Built for growing employers who feel the risk before they can name it.
-
20 to 200 employees, with people decisions getting more complex than a founder or ops lead can safely handle alone.
-
No in-house legal or HR function, or a small HR team that needs senior legal backup when things escalate.
-
Tired of rationing legal advice by cost, and calling a lawyer only once a situation has already become a problem.
-
Wants decisions that are documented properly and built to survive scrutiny if they're ever challenged.
Everything a senior employment law and HR leader would cover, on retainer.

Our results speak for themselves.

"Julie gave us a clear answer within the hour, not a week of back and forth with an outside firm. That speed alone has saved us from a couple of expensive mistakes."
"Having fixed-fee access means we actually call before a problem escalates instead of after. That change in behaviour has been the real value."
"We've been through a disciplinary process and a discrimination claim with Lomond Legal supporting us throughout. Both were handled calmly and came out clean."
