New Shared Parental Leave Toolkit for Employers and HR Directors

With new shared parental leave laws in place, it’s a good time to think about how to handle multiple requests for shared parental leave from male and female members of your workforce. Employees can make request for shared parental leave from February 2015 for all birth due dates/matching dates (for adoption) from April 2105 onwards.
Watch this slideshare for the changes to maternity and paternity leave entitlements and a quick, visual overview of the key points to remember.

We have been with The Legal Partners for over 7 years now and would highly recommend their services.

The team are friendly, and very responsive, making legal requirements easy to understand. Megan always follows up with calls and texts, it’s like having a safety net, making sure that nothing is missed, which is ideal because when you're busy, things can get missed.

We have received some exceptionally sure-footed and robust advice and guidance from Richard Mullett that steered us to an optimal outcome in a difficult and sensitive case that required not only competence but careful, acute judgement. Richard was clear, focused and succinct throughout and instilled utter confidence, such that I don’t think we could have been better supported.

We would not hesitate to turn to The Legal Partners again should we need an HR Solicitor.

Client

"Abigail’s help and knowledge is invaluable! As the HR director of the small company I feel safe in the knowledge that Abigail is always there to provide easy to understand, up-to-date and tailored advice, tips and longer term strategies for best practice for HR for me and the people working in my company. It's just so helpful to have the HR Network, receiving the information and sharing the discussions with other HR people"

Emma Crabb, HR Director, The Other Media, Innovative Digital Agency based in London

"Richard and I worked together for several years when we were both corporate lawyers at Slaughter and May. Richard was a great pleasure to work with, showing great commitment in supporting and meeting clients’ objectives. He provided advice with clarity, efficiency and focus on the key issues. I am sure that he brings the same qualities to the services provided by The Legal Partners"

Tim Clark, Former Senior Partner at Slaughter and May

"
Richard and his team provided invaluable help, guidance and support for two major transactions. His knowledge and expertise helped ensure both went through in a timely fashion, with potential choppy waters skilfully navigated. He was always available at the end of the phone, or face to face. In negotiations with the other party, I was clearly better briefed and prepared. I would recommend The Legal Partners without hesitation

Roger Martin, Managing Director, Coiled Spring Games Limited

"I recently requested some help which was generously and promptly forthcoming. Have found Richard and colleagues to be most knowledgeable, personable and helpful. Attended a recent in-house Network Seminar which has confirmed my original impressions. If you want legal precision and employment insulation, I know of no firm which offers a better service and could save you a lot of time, effort and money in the process. Highly recommended"

Business client based in Richmond

"Without The Legal Partners, the handbook would have taken six months and cost three times as much in terms of management time. That kind of thing can be mundane, but their service of giving us a template for a handbook and then collaborating with us was amazing. It meant I was able to give my Director the solution of sourcing a legally drafted template, then fine tuning it in consultation with authoritative and professional legal advice to produce a cost effective, fit-for-purpose, fully compliant handbook"

Sarah East, Former HR Manager, FourWalls Ltd

"I have attended two HR Network Seminars held by Legal Partners. Both have been incredibly informative and interesting, the team at Legal Partners have a great knack of breaking down complicated law and situations into very easy to understand process. Each time I have attended these sessions, I have walked away learning more than I expected too. What adds to these sessions is the friendliness of Richard, Abigail and Philippa. They never forget your name and are very enthused by anyone's questions. I cannot wait for the next session and would highly recommend them to anyone who has even the slightest interest in the topics that each Seminar is based on"
