Most businesses call us when something's
gone wrong. Our clients don't have to.
Practical legal support for SMEs across England and Wales - before issues become expensive problems.
Practical legal support, fixed monthly options, and advice you can actually use.
McKenzie Legal & HR supports SMEs across England and Wales with contracts, terms of business, disputes, debt recovery, and the documents that protect your business day-to-day.
These are the situations we deal with every single week.
🔸 A contract with a gap the other side is now using against you
🔸 An invoice that hasn’t been paid for months
🔸 A supplier who’s walked away with nothing agreed in writing
🔸 A staff issue with no policies or procedures to rely on
We’re not going to tell you what you should have done differently. We deal with what’s in front of you, and help make sure it doesn’t happen again.
This is exactly why many of our clients choose ongoing legal support.
Key Services
Terms & Conditions
Your terms of business set the rules. Without them, someone else sets them for you.
We draft terms of business that protect how you work, what you charge, and what happens when a client doesn’t hold up their end.
Contracts
Your contracts are either protecting you, or they’re not.
We draft, review, and fix commercial contracts, agreements, and NDAs so that when something goes wrong, you’re covered.
Debt Recovery & Dispute Resolution
A formal letter from a legal firm gets results that chasing emails doesn’t.
We handle everything from the first chaser letter to a formal Letter Before Action and support you beyond if needed.
HR & Employment
The documents that keep your business on solid ground.
Employment contracts, staff handbooks, and HR policies drafted properly for your business. Get the right foundations in place before you need them.
Retainers & Ongoing Support
Your own legal and HR team, without the overhead.
A fixed monthly fee, direct access to the team, and no unexpected bills at the end of the month. Support as and when you need it.
Wills & Power of Attorney
If something happened tomorrow, would your family and your business be protected?
We handle wills and lasting powers of attorney for individuals and business owners – clearly, without fuss, and without it being more complicated than it needs to be.
There are plenty of law firms out there. Here's why our clients choose us.
No Unexpected Bills
We’re upfront about how we charge before we start. Fixed fee where we can, hourly where the work demands it.
Straight Talking
We tell you what you need to know, not what’s easiest to say. You’ll always leave a conversation knowing exactly where you stand.

You can book a call via our Contact Page or drop us an email. A 30-minute telephone consultation is £50, and a 45-minute telephone consultation is £75. If you instruct us within 7 days, the consultation fee is deducted from your first invoice if your matter proceeds.
We’re not a traditional solicitor practice, which means we work differently – no six-minute billing units, no VAT, and no file being passed between people you’ve never met. For most commercial legal and HR work, including contracts, debt recovery, employment documents, and dispute support, we can help you directly. If something falls outside what we do, we’ll tell you and point you in the right direction.
Yes. Our retainer packages give you regular access to the team for a fixed monthly fee – support as and when you need it, without the cost of an in-house hire. We also offer a pay-as-you-go starter package of 3 hours for £495, valid for 6 months.
Most businesses manage fine until they don’t. A contract dispute, an unpaid invoice that won’t shift, a staff situation with nothing in writing – these are the moments when not having support costs significantly more than having it would have. We’re not here to tell you what you should have done. We’re here to sort out what’s in front of you and help make sure it doesn’t happen again.
