your HR and health and safety concerns solved by a fixed annual cost, which can be paid in monthly installments

Vigil is for employers who want to remove the worry and uncertainty brought about by the increasing amount of employment law litigation confronting organisations who employ staff, the greater focus on health and safety regulation and the risk of managers and directors being personally liable for health and safety offences.

The employment risk management service has been developed by Blake Lapthorn in conjunction with Hiscox and AXA.

Vigil Employment law risk management provides you with:

  • pragmatic, commercial and prompt advice from Blake Lapthorn's Employment Law team at no extra cost
  • an employment law audit to ensure your employment law documentation, policies and systems are up-to-date
  • optional insurance against Employment Tribunals: Vigil will meet the costs of our solicitors representing you to defend the claim as well as any award made against you if you are unsuccessful (subject to conditions of the policy)
  • monthly updates on the law and access to our password-protected website which offers precedents, management guidance notes and the latest information.

The health and safety risk management service has been developed by Blake Lapthorn in conjunction with Hascom Network.

  • a comprehensive health and safety audit to review your current policies, systems and procedures and highlight areas for improvement, if appropriate
  • telephone helpline with advice from legal and technical consultants
  • password protected website with simple explanations of your obligations, up-to-date information and links to the relevant HSE codes of practice and other guidance documents
  • optional insurance against the legal costs associated with defending a health and safety prosecution or challenging a prohibition or improvement notice
