# Brookson Legal

Brookson Legal is an SRA-regulated law firm based in Warrington specialising exclusively in IR35 compliance and employment status determination. Since 2000, they have guided thousands of businesses through every iteration of off-payroll working legislation, including the pivotal 2017 public sector and 2021 private sector reforms.

The firm serves three distinct markets: hirers seeking defensible status assessments and HMRC protection; recruiters managing client relationships across IR35 changes whilst protecting their fee-payer position; and contractors navigating employment rights and optimising their compliance standing.

What distinguishes Brookson Legal is their singular focus on IR35 within the legal sector. As the only law firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority that concentrates primarily on off-payroll working, they combine deep legislative knowledge with practical experience. Their expertise extends to HMRC's own thinking—team members have sat on HMRC's IR35 forum, providing rare insight into regulatory evolution and enforcement priorities.

Rather than generic compliance advice, Brookson Legal delivers tailored solutions addressing specific supply chain positions. Their services span IR35 reviews, contract alignment, Statement of Work analysis, strategic compliance frameworks, team training, mock HMRC investigations, and fee-payer liability transfer. All advice carries Professional Indemnity Insurance backing, and they operate as part of the wider Brookson Group, combining specialist legal expertise with practical workforce solutions.
