New · Employment Rights Act 2025

Ready for the Employment Rights Act

The biggest shake-up of employment law in a generation is being phased in through 2026 and 2027. We’ll help you understand what it means for your organisation and get ready in good time.

Employees will be able to bring an unfair dismissal claim after six months’ service, down from two years.

How we charge

Clear costs, agreed up front

Every piece of work starts with a free discovery call and a short engagement letter, so you know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs.

Fixed-fee projects

For defined pieces of work like a handbook, an HR audit or a restructure. You know the cost before we start.

Day or hourly rate

For one-off cases, investigations, hearings, coaching sessions and training days.

Monthly retainer

Your own HR lead on call, with a set number of hours each month for advice and support.

How we’ll work together

Four simple steps

Free discovery call

We talk through what’s happening and what a good outcome looks like for you.

A clear proposal

You get a short engagement letter setting out the work, the timescales and the cost.

Hands-on delivery

We work alongside you and your managers, on site or remotely, with regular updates.

Review and next steps

We look back at what worked and agree any ongoing support you need.

Tall Trees HR provides HR advice and support, not legal advice. Where a matter needs a solicitor, for example an employment tribunal claim, we’ll tell you and can point you to a trusted specialist.
