HR Consultancy in London: what to expect

Consultancy is bought by the project, not the month. In London the common briefs are restructures, pay and grading reviews, TUPE transfers and investigations that an owner-manager cannot run impartially. We reviewed 7 HR consultancies covering London, including 2 headquartered in the city. Indicative local pricing runs £250-£600 a month retained or £800-£1,500 a day for project work.

Why London is different

London employment is concentrated in financial and professional services, technology, creative and media, and the deepest concentration of solicitor-led HR practices in the country, so you can buy legal advice and day-to-day HR from the same firm. Tribunal claims are heard at London Central, London South or East London. Ask each provider on this page how it has handled hr consultancy for employers in financial and professional services specifically.

Common questions

When is project consultancy better than a retainer in London?
Use a consultant on a day rate (£800-£1,500 a day locally) for one-off work: a restructure, a pay and grading review, a TUPE transfer or an investigation. A retainer makes more sense once you need day-to-day advice every month.
How many HR consultancies cover London?
We reviewed 7 HR consultancies serving London, 2 of them headquartered in the city. The shortlist below is ordered on local presence and verifiable evidence, apart from featured partners, which are labelled as such.
What makes hr consultancy different in London?
The deepest concentration of solicitor-led HR practices in the country, so you can buy legal advice and day-to-day HR from the same firm. Ask any prospective provider how that applies to hr consultancy for an employer of your size.
