About People Legal

Founded in 2019 by Chris McAvoy-Newns, People Legal is an employment law specialist firm based in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Our mission is simple: to deliver exceptional, responsive, and affordable legal support for individuals and small businesses facing workplace challenges.  We understand that issues at work can be distressing and complex. Whether you’re navigating disciplinary or performance concerns, facing redundancy or discrimination, or simply reviewing a contract—you don’t have to do it alone. We provide initial telephone advice, help with settlement and service agreements, support in the tribunal process, mediation, training, and more—all with clear guidance and empathy.  For small businesses, we pride ourselves on offering advice that is not just legally sound, but commercially practical: helping you understand obligations, manage risk, and maintain healthy, compliant workplaces without unnecessary costs.  We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA Reg. No. 654830), and have been repeatedly ranked among the top employment law firms in independent directories such as Legal 500, where we are recognised for being “highly collaborative and modern.”  At the heart of our work are genuine care, emotional intelligence, and clarity. We believe in listening, in explaining every step clearly, and in treating each case as more than just legal work—it’s about people, dignity, and fairness.
