Bhayani Law

What Bhayani Law does

Bhayani Law Limited is an SRA-regulated (SRA number: 615634) employment law firm headquartered in Sheffield, founded in 2014 by Jay Bhayani after her 23-year tenure as a partner and head of employment law. The firm operates exclusively in the UK employment law and HR advisory market, combining qualified solicitors and HR advisors under one roof to deliver integrated legal-HR services. Core offerings include specialist employment law advice (disciplinary, grievance, redundancy, TUPE, tribunals, settlement agreements), outsourced HR services, HR documentation, recruitment support, and a calendar of public and bespoke training courses.

The firm's commercial centre of gravity is the Watertight Fixed Fee HR Plan, a monthly subscription retainer starting at £99+VAT that bundles ongoing advice, policy updates, contract templates, and access to the Watertight HR Hub — an online portal hosting policies, contracts, letters, and monthly HR Spotlights for retainer clients. Adjacent revenue streams include fixed-fee and project-based legal work, paid training (e.g., £150+VAT online and £350+VAT in-person for Neurodiversity training), and a Charity HR Hub community programme delivered in partnership with Make UK. Distribution is direct and UK-domestic, leveraging content marketing, webinars, a YouTube channel, a free consultation entry point, and referral/word-of-mouth driven by over 230 verified 5.0/5 client reviews on Review Solicitors. Sub-brands (Watertight HR & Legal, HR Exchange, The Charity HR Hub) extend the ecosystem around the core retainer.

Customer segmentation is concentrated in UK SMBs and the charity sector, with named vertical specialisations in hospitality and law firms. Pricing is transparent and published for core offerings. Headcount is small (1-10 employees), and the firm is privately held without external investment, with leadership including founder Jay Bhayani as Managing Director, Alexandra Hurwood as Head of Employment Law (appointed 2025), and Kathryn Gilbert as Head of HR Services. Recent strategic activity (2025) centres on expansion of training programmes, the Charity HR Hub launch, and tools supporting employer compliance with the Employment Rights Act 2025.
