Prevention, not litigation

A qualified employment solicitor on your team, without hiring one.

Counsl gives you fast, confidential employment law advice from a real, practising solicitor — delivered through the tools you already use, like Microsoft Teams and your HR system. The best tribunal claim is the one that never gets filed.

How it works

Proper legal advice, at the speed of software.

Counsl sits where your managers already work, gathers the context automatically, and puts a qualified solicitor at the end of every question.

01

Connect

Counsl integrates with Microsoft Teams and your HR system, so advice sits right where your managers already work.

02

Ask

A manager asks in plain English. The platform gathers the relevant contract and policies and briefs your solicitor — that's what makes it fast.

03

Get advice

A qualified solicitor reviews it and replies with clear, confidential advice — a same-working-day response, with the option to book a call.

Our approach

Most claims don't begin as disputes. They begin as everyday questions that escalated because no one had quick access to proper advice.

Traditional firms are engaged once a dispute has already escalated — and their model benefits from litigation. Ours is the opposite: fast, correct advice at the point of need, so issues are handled properly and never become tribunal claims.

The platform

A real solicitor, an intelligent platform.

Every matter is gathered, briefed, answered and documented in one place — so advice is fast, and there's always a clear record of the process you followed.

Answered by a qualified solicitor

A person reviews and signs off every answer — book a call whenever you'd rather talk.

A secure case record

Every matter is kept in a secure file, and the platform can generate an anonymised summary on demand.

UK & EU data, kept private

Encrypted and stored on UK and EU-based servers, in compliance with GDPR — never uploaded to a generic AI.
