Why Recruiters Need Specialist Legal Support
Recruitment businesses operate in a unique legal space — somewhere between employment and commercial law. You’re dealing with clients, candidates, workers, contractors, consultants, temps, payroll intermediaries and end-users — often all at once.
You need employment law support that understands:
The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Businesses Regulations 2003
How AWR, IR35, and TUPE interact with your workforce models
The difference between liability to the agency vs. liability to the client
The real commercial pressures of making placements — and what’s at risk if things go wrong
