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.
Built for employers who want employment law covered.
10 to 10,000 employees. From growing businesses to established organisations with complex workforces.
With or without in house HR. With or without in house legal. We can act as your employment law function or work alongside the teams you already have.
For businesses that don't want to ration legal advice by cost. Get us involved early, ask the question when it arises, and deal with issues before they become expensive problems.
The same partnership, three different starting points.
Pick the one that's you, an HR leader, a business owner, or an advisor whose client just called with an employment problem.
Someone to call before you have to explain yourself to legal.
Most of the risk in employment law isn't the law itself. It's the decision made alone, without anyone to check it against before it's final.
- Unlimited advice on terminations, discipline, and complaints. Ask the question before it becomes a problem.
- Policies and letters reviewed or drafted at no extra cost
- Documentation built to hold up if it's ever challenged
- Talk to an advisor
One employment claim shouldn't be able to sink what you've built.
You didn't start a company to spend your week worrying about a termination. A fixed fee means the legal bill is never the surprise.
- One predictable monthly fee. No hourly clock, no invoice shock.
- Litigation defense included, not billed separately or handed off to another firm
- Built for teams that don't have, and don't need, an in house legal department
- Get a risk review
Stay the trusted advisor. Hand off what's outside your lane.
When a client's employment issue lands on your desk, you shouldn't have to become their lawyer to keep their trust.
- Refer clients into a fixed fee model that's simple to explain and easy to say yes to
- We coordinate directly with you on the client relationship, not around you
- No cost to you or the relationship. Your client sees you as the one who solved it.
- Discuss a partnership
Everything a senior employment law and HR leader would cover, on retainer.
Every client gets the same complete coverage. Nothing quietly excluded once you actually need it.
Our results speak for themselves.
Trusted by employers who needed a straight answer, fast.
"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."
