Do you have access to legal advisers with exceptional healthcare sector expertise?
In response to feedback from healthcare professionals, we have developed a specialist, cost effective HR and general legal support service dealing with a range of legal issues and pricing options to suit your needs.
This is the VWV HR & Legal Services Retainer, the equivalent of a virtual in-house legal team.
As healthcare specialists with over 25 years sector experience, we recognise that you expect outstanding, specialist legal advice from sector experts. We strive to be proactive and cutting edge.
With heavy demands on your time, we also appreciate that you need prompt, practical legal advice without worrying about the cost.
Our lawyers provide expert advice on just about every aspect of law that you will ever need.
It is important to us that we take time to get to know you and to understand your priorities so that we can become your trusted legal advisers.
By providing practical and timely advice, our lawyers ensure that you are in the driving seat, not ‘sitting on the fence’ unsure of your strategic legal options.
Under the retainer, our large team of specialist healthcare lawyers can offer you an impressive range of practice and timely legal advice covering: HR & employment, GP Core NHS contracts, partnership agreements & disputes, changes in partnership structure, mergers & super partnerships, shared services & procurement, bank funding arrangements, contracts, leases & occupation agreements, health & safety, estate management, freedom of information & data protection, charity law and governance.

The needs of your practice will determine the level of legal support you require. This is recognised in the different packages we offer - bronze, silver and gold.
We work with many federations and appreciate that for those with more than 3 practices, driving economies of scale is important. Please talk to us about a retainer package that best meets your structure and strategic aims.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel. We offer a full range of template policies and procedures, including contracts of employment and staff handbook policies, specifically designed for the healthcare sector. A full updating service is available for your peace of mind.
We provide practical, engaging training sessions covering a host of topical issues including safeguarding, health and safety, managing staff performance, equality and diversity, procurement and shared services, Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
The partners and staff that I have dealt with have been knowledgeable and can explain the issues and relevance to the problems at hand.
Our healthcare lawyers invest a great deal of time in gaining an understanding of what's going on in the sector to provide you with informed legal advice, training and support.
