We have an
in-depth understanding of the interaction of the various requirements and
issues affecting the ways in which individuals provide their services, whether
as employee, worker, self-employed, or via
an ‘own company’, from the viewpoints of each party in the supply chain; and extensive
experience in fine-tuning business plans and models, and drafting the necessary
documentation to implement the final plan, in a way that works.
Our primary aim is to provide our clients with a
framework, within which they can operate in full compliance with all applicable
legal requirements.
