Employment lawyer Karen Coleman has sealed a partnership agreement with PM Training.
The agreement will allow companies who take on apprentices via PM Training to take advantage of special fixed rate employment law packages.
And the Realise charity, which helps young people in North Staffordshire, will benefit as 10 per cent of fees generated will go to support them.
“This service will give great benefits to all involved,” said Karen of Excello Law. “The companies benefit from the regular availability of a specialist employment service, the Realise Foundation, which is part of Aspire Housing along with PM Training benefits via Gift Aid from fees and it provides a fantastic opportunity for me to work with companies in North Staffordshire.”
Karen, of Norton Green, recently joined new model national law firm Excello Law after a long stint as Head of Employment Law at Burslem based Myers and Co.
Karen advises a national client base from large corporates to owner-managed businesses on all aspects of employment law.
Excello Law is a fast-growing, national law firm providing senior experienced commercial lawyers like Karen with a more dynamic, forward-thinking and independent environment in which to practise.
The agreement with PM Training offers packages designed to give tailored employment law advice to companies employing apprentices through their services.
PM Training is Staffordshire’s leading supplier of apprenticeships, helping 250 young people a year to gain skills and employment opportunities.
