About us – LLG Law is an employment law consultancy providing specialist employment law and HR advices to business. We are based in London although we service companies across the UK. Our niche size and the LLG Law ethos mean that we are able to offer a range of high-quality, specialist employment law services to both companies and individual clients. However, we have neither the factory-like atmosphere nor the high overheads which characterise many competitors – and our services are personal and more cost-effective. Our overriding objective in dealing with any employment dispute or claim is that we offer commercial and practical advice. Many employment disputes are either resolved amicably or settled at an early stage, but if that is not possible, our experience and commercial awareness give the best chance of a positive outcome. LLG Law is the trading name of LLG Consultancy Limited which is registered as a limited company with Companies House.
