About Us

Hancocks Solicitors was established in 2006 to provide complete, responsive and pro-active employment law solutions for employers and senior executives.

We are a firm of solicitors and not a claims company, This means we are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and always operate within a tight framework of professional ethics.

We specialise purely in employment law which enables us to stay ahead in the ever-changing world of employment law legislation and best practice in the workplace.

We aim to provide a professional and competitively priced service delivered personally by experienced solicitors who understand their clients’ needs. We provide results-driven advice, working with you to achieve your goals quickly and effectively.

Services

Employment law has been a growing area of law for decades, but within the last couple of years there has been such an explosion of enhanced rights for employees that no employer, large or small, can afford to be without some form of employment law support.

Our services are designed to meet the specific needs of your organisation and are totally flexible so that they can be expanded or otherwise adapted to develop with your business. The services we offer range from ad hoc telephone advice on an 'as and when required basis' to full consultancy packages, individually tailored to our client's needs. A number of our clients view us as their in-house solicitor at a fraction of the cost.
