We enjoy high success rates and have improved or added to the cashflow of many of our clients.

Remortgaging

We act for borrowers on a range of re-financing and security issues. Our goal is to be pragmatic and commercial in providing an effective and quick service.

Employment

We recognise that different businesses adopt different approaches to employee management. Most businesses will seek legal advice for some employment issues and in the long run this can save time and money.

As employees become more aware of their rights and become increasingly prepared to seek legal redress, it is vital that employers stay abreast of developments.

With over 130,000 applications annually by employees to Employment Tribunals in the UK, and with the upper limits of some awards having been raised to more than £50,000 (some being unlimited), employers need to be fully and properly advised about relevant law and procedures.

Businesses

Our experience and skills allow us to draw and retain clients who are retailers, builders, businesses and property investors. Whatever your business there may come a time when you wish to buy, sell, expand, raise money or change the medium in which the business operates, or maybe you need assistance in setting up contracts of employment, a partnership agreement or terms of business.

The Honley Law Practice represents clients from Honley, Holmfirth, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Halifax in respect of many types of business and commercial activities.
