Employment law and HR consultancy

Welcome to sMaRT Employment Law, the specialist employment law and HR consultancy run by me, Mark Treacher. I provide expert advice, assistance and support to businesses and organisations - both large and small - and to individuals on the full range of employment law issues.

I take great pride in tailoring my service to your specific requirements, whether that be a one-off piece of work or a longer assignment.

I also represent excellent value for money and prefer to work on a fixed fee or retainer basis as I recognise the value of you being able to budget your expenditure. Having said that, I am completely flexible and if you prefer a more traditional “pay as you go" arrangement, then that's fine. Either way, I will discuss your requirements and the charges for my services with you at the outset, so that my fees will be fixed or so I can provide you with a clear estimate of cost.

I am based in Devon, but with a fast rail-link into London and being close to the M5 I operate throughout the UK.

Please contact me today for a no-obligation initial consultation.

For employers

I provide expert advice, assistance and support in areas such as:
Policies, procedures and employee handbooks.
Day to day HR issues and strategy.
Contracts of employment.
Data protection.
Absence and attendance management.
Performance management.
Business restructuring, redundancy and TUPE transfers.
Industrial and employee relations, trade union recognition and bargaining.
I specialise in the conduct of contentious employment cases on behalf of employers, so when disputes with employees do result in an Employment Tribunal claim, I can provide representation to achieve the best outcome for your business. I regularly represent employers in claims involving:
Deductions from wages
Breach of contract
Discrimination
Whistleblowing
Unfair dismissal
Equal pay
TUPE
However, in the first instance, my primary aim is to assist you in avoiding disputes with your employees, but when disputes do arise, I will work closely with you to try and resolve the issue as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

I am regularly involved in the provision of training to supervisors and managers on a range of employment law related topics. I also run regular breakfast briefings for my clients and produce regular employment law updates.

In summary, I provide a quality, full-range service to employers, which represents excellent value for money and I take great pride in tailoring the support and service that I offer to your specific business requirements.
