STOCKTON-based law firm, Archers Law LLP, has added a string to its bow, with the development of a new employment and human resources firm.

About HR Limited has been born from its well respected employment law team.

Launching as an independent firm this month, About HR will be led by partner and former Tees Valley Law Society president, Elizabeth Casey.

She said: “The employment team, within Archers Law, built an excellent reputation for its expertise in handling complex and challenging employment issues for employers and HR professionals across the Tees Valley.

“While About HR will continue to offer businesses and HR professionals employment law services through the traditional approach, it will also aim to offer alternatives to suit their immediate or long term need, with a range of fixed price services, as well as our new annual employment protection insurance package for a monthly fixed cost.”

Vicky Browning, marketing and business development manager at the law firm, said: “Working closely with Elizabeth, we have ensured a smooth transition, which we are confident has a strong future.”
