Employee benefits: advice for employers
Attract and retain staff with the right benefits package
Attracting and retaining talented employees is essential to the success of any business. While salary remains important, a well-designed employee benefits package can play a key role in recruiting and retaining the right people. From pensions and bonuses to flexible benefits, share schemes and other incentives, employers have a range of options to consider – but each can carry legal and regulatory requirements. Our team, including independent financial advisers, is on hand to guide you on the legal considerations of your employee benefits arrangements, helping you understand your obligations and put appropriate measures in place.
"Having a team with such a diverse knowledge base working at Tees, it makes life very easy to make one call then get put in touch with the relevant person with the skill set required." Legal 500 2026

Our team of independent financial advisers works seamlessly with our legal teams, so you can be sure of getting a joined-up and comprehensive service.
Our advisers provide holistic financial planning and as we are not connected to any one provider, we can offer a whole-of-market approach for the range of products we can advise on.

Our IFAs are regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, which means we’re accountable for the advice we give.
