The retainer service has been invaluable. Rachael doesn’t just advise – she improves processes, prevents problems, and genuinely becomes part of your team. She’s approachable, knowledgeable, and always available when needed.”

Fixed pricing starts from £495 – so you only pay for what you use.
Fast, reliable Legal support for reviewing letters or emails before sending, understanding legal obligations, and making informed business decisions.
Straightforward pricing – if a query is more complex, we’ll let you know before continuing.
Ideal for:
Getting a legal check on important communications. Receiving quick guidance, clarifying legal obligations, or addressing potential business disputes before they escalate.
I realised quickly that I needed a top lawyer on the end of the phone. Rachael at McKenzie Legal & HR came highly recommended by an A&E consultant who mentioned her by name – and she was quite simply my salvation. Over the past few years I called on her frequently for urgent advice – and thanks to her guidance, I survived, even through the challenges of COVID-19. Sometimes her words were the only kind words I heard. First-class personal service. Absolutely amazing. I highly recommend McKenzie Legal & HR to anyone.”
