Employment law support for UK firms
A lawyer placed through Singularity works full time inside your employment team on the drafting and preparation that fills a fee-earner's day: contracts and handbooks, policy updates, settlement agreements, and the preparation behind tribunal claims.
They are qualified South African attorneys working under your supervision, so your solicitors advise and sign off while your hire carries the work behind it.
What the work looks like
Case and matter work
- Drafting employment contracts, handbooks and policies
- Settlement agreement drafting to your precedent
- Tribunal preparation, including claim and response documentation
- Schedules of loss and supporting calculations
- First drafts of witness statements from notes and instructions
- Research on case law and tracking of employment law developments
Client and operational
- Hearing bundle preparation
- Client correspondence and case updates
- Deadline and tribunal diary management
- Liaising with the other side and with counsel
- Precedent and template library upkeep
Steady work, unpredictable volume
Employment teams tend to swing between quiet weeks and a tribunal deadline that swallows everything. A full-time hire gives you somewhere for that peak to go that is not a partner's weekend, and gives the quiet weeks to the precedent library everybody keeps meaning to fix.
How the hire works
You tell us the seat you need filled. We search our network of more than a thousand South African lawyers and put forward a small shortlist, every candidate already scrutinised and interviewed by the lawyers on our own team. You interview them and choose. The search costs you nothing, there is no recruitment fee and no lock-in, and we replace the lawyer whenever you ask, whatever the reason. Your first hire through Singularity carries thirty days at our risk: if it is not a success you pay nothing for the month, and we still pay the lawyer.
Bring the seat you are struggling to fill.
Twenty minutes, no deck, no obligation. We will tell you honestly whether we can help.
