SISTER SERVICE · QUALIFIED HR ADVISOR
When even smart
templates aren't
enough — call Electra HR.
The Contract Studio gives you solicitor-drafted templates that hold up in the real world — the paperwork of running a business, sorted.
Electra HR picks up where documents stop — the moment a situation needs judgement, not a template. A grievance, a disciplinary, a restructure, or a Qualified HR Advisor on the phone to say “do it this way, not that way.”
WHY WE HAVE BOTH
Two products, one team, one philosophy.
THE CONTRACT STUDIO
Solicitor-drafted templates, ready to use
Real contracts, policies and handbooks — written by a practising solicitor, priced so a small business can actually afford them. Buy once, use forever. Best when you know what you need and you want it sorted today.
ELECTRA HR
A Qualified HR Advisor you can actually phone
Blocks of hours, no lock-in. Grievances, disciplinaries, investigations, HR audits, difficult conversations, one-off advice — with Bonsai Law sitting behind it for anything that needs to escalate. Best when the situation needs judgement, not a document.
WHAT ELECTRA HR ACTUALLY DOES
The stuff that keeps you up at night.
Practical, commercially minded HR — not box-ticking. Powered by Bonsai Law, so there is a regulated firm behind every conversation.
Day-to-day HR advice
Performance issues, sickness, flexible working, timekeeping, and those “can I actually say this to them?” conversations.
Grievances & disciplinaries
Investigations, letters, hearings, outcomes. Fair, robust and as dispute-proof as we can make it.
Contracts, handbooks & policies
Drafted or updated to match how your business actually works — not a generic template dropped on your team.
HR health checks
We look at what you already have, flag the risks, and give you a sensible order to fix things.
Training & change projects
Manager training, restructures, growth spurts and those “we need to change how this works” moments.
Startup HR packages
First hire? Fixed-price bundles with tailored contracts, a simple handbook, onboarding docs and a small bank of hours.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
You should not pay law firm fees for HR advice.
But you should still have the teeth of a law firm behind you.
Blocks of hours, not handcuffs
No expensive auto-renewing retainers. Buy a block of hours, use them when things come up, top up when you run low.
Backed by Bonsai Law
Because Electra HR is backed by an SRA-regulated law firm, there is a clear escalation path the moment a matter turns legal — most standalone HR consultancies simply cannot offer that.
Same founder, same standards
Vanessa Challess — the same person behind The Contract Studio — set up Electra HR to give small businesses proper HR advice at a price that works. Same commercial mindset, same plain-English tone.
Prevention first, not panic stations
HR health checks, proper processes and sensible documentation so problems get caught early — before they land at tribunal.
Urgent = same day. Everything else = next working day.
WhatsApp, email or phone. Straight answers in plain English. No portal, no ticket queue, no ticking boxes.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Try not to worry.
Electra HR has you.
Send Electra HR the details, have a proper conversation, and get an honest plan. No pressure, no hard sell.
