Private Clients
“It struck me how often friends and family came to me for advice who would otherwise engage a lawyer, spend frustrating hours on google or turn to AI. I identified a genuine need for small employers to be able to access bespoke and pragmatic help.”
Calm HR
I provide discreet, highly personalised support to private households and family offices, advising on the people and employment matters that sit at the heart of a well-run private environment.
My approach is practical, considered and entirely confidential, with advice tailored to the particular circumstances, expectations and dynamics of each household.
Support may include:
Drafting and reviewing employment contracts, terms of employment and detailed job descriptions
Recruitment support, including reference checking and appropriate background screening
Guidance on employment matters, including performance, conduct, absence and grievance issues
Acting as a trusted and impartial intermediary when sensitive or difficult situations arise
Establishing clear policies, procedures and expectations for household staff
Advising on confidentiality, privacy and appropriate boundaries within the household
Supporting household employers through changes in circumstances, including staff transitions and departures
Providing guidance during unexpected or sensitive situations affecting the household or its staff
Advising on household staffing structures, team dynamics, communication and day-to-day management
Providing ongoing HR counsel to ensure the household has a well-managed, professional and respectful working environment
Calm HR — where the journey is as soothing as the destination
