Harrogate law firm Consilia Legal has launched a new initiative providing business protection advice to Yorkshire start-ups.

The firm's specialist employment law team will be offering legal help on vital areas of employment law to support businesses launched in the midst of the pandemic.

The initiative aims to recognise, reward and support successful start-ups, after gov.co.uk research revealed there was a 30 per cent increase in new business registrations in the third quarter of 2020.

Any North and West Yorkshire businesses registered after April 2020 with expansion plans can benefit from a series of virtual workshops, mentoring and support on employment law matters to protect the business from bumps along the way.

Firms interested in taking part should email [email protected] with their full title, business name and contact details.
