Strongly recommend

We have worked with AfterAthena for a number of years now and are more than happy with the service they provide. Their response times are very good, I normally hear back within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. They have taken the time to fully understand the specific complexities of our business and the make-up of our workforce meaning the advice we receive is tailored to our business and always clear and concise. I would not hesitate to recommend AfterAthena for both their legal advice and HR support services.

Trusted, Commercially-Savvy Employment Law Support

We've worked with AfterAthena for a number of years now and can't recommend them highly enough. They're always available when we need them, and they’ve taken the time to really understand how our business operates. Their advice is consistently sound, commercially astute, and not overly risk-averse — which is exactly what we need when navigating employment law.

They support us with everything from day-to-day queries to complex employee matters, and their free webinars and in-person events are a brilliant way to stay ahead of upcoming legal changes. Their online hub is also incredibly useful, packed with updates and practical templates that save us a lot of time.

AfterAthena genuinely feel like an extension of our team. They're approachable, knowledgeable, and always go the extra mile.

Sensible, practical and commercial advice

We've been with After Athena for two years. We always value their employment law advice - not just because it is correct, but also practical and commercial. They help us understand the risks of the options open to us and guided through complex TUPE processes.

Would Recommend

Fantastic team - reactive, responsive and pragmatic. After Athena has supported us with a wide range of people issues and I have been really pleased with the service we have received. The retainer works well - value for money and predictable expense for budgeting purposes. The app is an added bonus and the update sessions are always helpful too.

Highly recommend

Despite being a growing organisation, I always found the service provided by the After Athena employment law team both personal and professional. We built strong working relationships with the team and we trusted their advice and expertise. We found the Portal and webinars helpful as well as their documentary review service. I would highly recommend to employers looking for an employment law provider at a competitive price
