Get to know the people behind Haddletons – a team of commercially-minded legal and HR specialists who understand the real-world challenges businesses face every day.

  • A colleague shares an unfiltered rant about their workload or a manager after a few too many drinks. The next day, the office atmosphere is ‘tense’.
  • An overly enthusiastic (and tipsy) team member starts giving bear hugs and declaring their love for everyone, creating awkward or uncomfortable moments for colleagues
  • A loud, risqué joke that might normally go unnoticed strikes the wrong chord in the festive setting.
  • Someone overshares personal feelings about a co-worker, leading to an awkward or embarrassing situation the next day.
  • A seemingly harmless drinking game spirals out of control, leaving someone feeling singled out or humiliated.

Smart legal and HR support from a partner who’s in it with you

You wouldn’t take advice from someone who’s never been in your shoes – especially if they don’t understand your business, your goals, or where you’re heading next.

We believe the destination should shape the journey. So that’s where we start.

We take the time to understand what you’re aiming for, then work with you to put the right legal and HR foundations in place – whether you’re growing, restructuring, bringing on new talent, or planning for exit.

Because at Haddletons – working closely with our employment and HR specialists at Swift – it starts with where you’re going and ends with getting you there.
