EMPLOYMENT LAW SERVICES



People Legal was founded by Chris McAvoy-Newns in February 2019. Chris’ goal was
to provide high quality Employment Law advice and representation to individuals
and small businesses.

Since then, Lauren Beaumont, Helen Littlewood, Rizwana Ishaq and Georgia
Goulding have joined to expand the firm’s capability and broaden its Employment
Law expertise. Find out more about the team here.

People Legal is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and its
registration number is: 654830.

People Legal has been ranked as a ‘Leading Firm’ three times by Legal 500, who
have commented that as a ‘Very committed smaller firm offering niche market
service’ we are ‘extremely knowledgeable’ with an ‘excellent pedigree at a
fraction of the cost of city centre practices.’ We have been told that ‘as a
team [we] pack a punch and work on high value and complex cases at a fraction of
the cost of [our] competitors.’

Chris has also personally been recommended by Legal 500 on numerous occasions.
Clients have referred to him as ‘very ‘on it’’, ‘bright, commercial and a
pleasure to work with’, ‘very personable’, with ‘exemplary level of
understanding and precision of legal knowledge’, a ‘client-friendly approach’
and ‘approachability and ability to break down what is required into workable
and comprehensible terminology’.

Chris also sits as a part-time Employment Judge in the North East of England
Employment Tribunals. As such, unfortunately, we may not be able to assist you
with your claim if it is likely to be heard in the Newcastle, Leeds or Sheffield
Employment Tribunals. If you have any queries regarding this, please contact us
and we can discuss this further.
