Outset Group (‘Outset’) is a professional services group delivering HR, legal and health & safety advice to UK SMEs. It focusses on supporting clients through often complex and heavily regulated issues, providing peace of mind, and ultimately allowing them to spend time on their own core activities. By providing these services on fixed fee and transparent pricing terms, the founder, Jonathan Gauton, has been able to build a differentiated legal firm that puts its clients’ needs at the forefront of all it does.
Outset provides the full suite of HR services, covering the whole employment lifecycle which is delivered by a team of experienced employment lawyers and CIPD qualified HR professionals. It works closely with clients on long-term retainer agreements, often becoming an extension of their own internal HR function.
