Brookson brings employment law in-house

Brookson, one of the leading providers of accountancy, tax advice and
other support services to contractors, has further strengthened its
compliance offering to customers by employing an independent legal team
in-house for the first time.

The eight strong team consists of
senior solicitors, paralegals and trainee solicitors all of whom
specialise in legal issues which affect contractors on a day to day
basis.

The move comes as part of Brookson’s continued
recognition of the importance of compliance within the marketplace and
its ongoing commitment to evolve and advance its existing service
offering.

Martin Hesketh, managing director of Brookson,
commented: “We’re renowned for our in-depth understanding of the
self-employed professionals’ market place and are delighted that we
have been able to create such an experienced legal team in-house. This
provides another layer to our specialist offering, which again
separates us from the high street. Our customers can rest easy in the
knowledge that they have a team of experts behind them who not only
specialise, but genuinely understand, the complex nature of the
self-employed market.

Carl Henning, senior solicitor, commented:
“It’s a very exciting time for Brookson and we’re all delighted to join
a company with such a great reputation and passion for delivering the
best possible service to its customers.”

Brookson is also
pleased to announce its working partnership with Pinsent Masons LLP,
leading Employment law specialists. Pinsent Masons will provide support
to ensure Brookson’s legal offering remains independently audited as
well as keeping the team abreast of wider legal issues within the
industry.

Martin concluded: “Brookson is committed to offering
the highest standards of law employment law advice to its customers and
we look forward to a long a prosperous relationship with Pinsent Masons
and our new in-house legal team.”
