Canter Levin & Berg Employment Solutions provides you and your business with the long term employment law support you need. We provide expert advice and support from specialist employment solicitors who are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and who you can trust to provide you with reliable legal advice.

What makes us different from other leading HR and employment law support services is that we will give you direct access to experienced and qualified employment lawyers, including direct dial and email addresses. You may have seen or dealt with heavily advertised services which put you though to unqualified staff who will answer questions with their stock answers, which are useless. We will provide you with immediate access to a real employment lawyer, who can provide you with the answers that you need.

If you are an SME, like us, we will provide you with just what you need: sensible and practical advice to enable you to deal with HR and related issues as you want to from just £99 per month.

Top quality service

Since 2003 we have been accredited with Lexcel, the Law Society’s quality mark for excellence in the provision of legal services. Our online service costs just £49 per month and our full employment lawyer support starts at just £99 per month.

Fixed prices

We have no hourly rates and each product can be tailored to your specific business requirements. We will not tie you into long contracts; our standard contracts run for 12 months and over 95% of our subscribers choose to renew.

What makes us different?

For all full subscription services we will allocate to you a dedicated specialist employment lawyer who will take the time to learn about you and your business and be on hand with a direct email address and phone number so you can get the immediate advice you need from someone you know.

Our specialisation

What makes us different is that our services are provided exclusively by specialist employment lawyers.

Subscribers are allocated to an individual solicitor with direct dial and email access. Consequently we get to know about your business and we can therefore tailor our services to your specific needs.

Our experience

We have a great deal of experience in dealing with complicated employment law issues. Canter Levin & Berg has been providing specialist employment law services to employers for over 30 years so we’ve seen and dealt with most employment scenarios.

We offer fixed monthly subscriptions and no hidden charges so call us now, free, on 0151 239 1000 or contact us now online and we will call you.

Our services

Our services are designed to provide you with complete peace of mind when it comes to employment law and HR. We can provide you with services which can be customised your particular requirements. Contact us and we will arrange for a visit from an employment solicitor who will carry out a free employment audit to identify what you need.

Online HR

We can also provide you with a full, online service for the management of your HR records including holidays, sickness and other absences, appraisals, online timesheets and contract documents, using CLB HR. It costs just £3 per user per month so, for an SME with 10 employees that’s just £360 a year. Compare that with the cost of a full or part time HR manager!

Our people

Tom Sutherland

Head of Employment and Commercial

thomassutherland@canter-law.co.uk

Thomas returned to Canter Levin & Berg in 2025 as the Head of Employment and Commercial.

He obtained his law degree at the University of Southampton and is approaching 15 years of continuous experience as an employment lawyer and over a decade as a qualified employment and litigation solicitor. Thomas also specialises in data protection law, including work relating to the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, as well as engaging in dispute resolution and litigation work.

During the past decade, Thomas has built a reputation for handling Employment Tribunal claims of all types for employees and employers. His specialisms include discrimination, unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and unlawful deduction of wage claims, amongst others.

Thomas is driven to provide a professional service based on approachability and understandable advice. One of Thomas’ main goals is to avoid unnecessary legalese! It is his belief that most disputes can be resolved through amicable negotiation, albeit court and tribunal proceedings remain necessary for those scenarios in which the other side cannot agree a reasonable resolution.

In his spare time, Thomas can often be found at various Parkrun locations, Marine FC matches, and cheering on Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing next to his daughter!
