Bira Legal are always friendly and professional. Their responses are always informative and helpful and I feel that no question is too small or silly.
We don’t have an internal HR team so having Bira Legal is super beneficial to us, especially when it comes to disciplinaries and staffing issues as we don’t want to make mistakes and want to do the best for our employees, whilst protecting ourselves at the same time.”
