The idea

Simple workplace support on planning ahead

Many employees know they should think about wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney or putting plans in place for their family, but it is often something that gets delayed.

Elephant Legal at Work is intended to make that first step easier, by offering workplace-friendly sessions and resources that explain the key issues in plain English.

The aim is not to pressure employees into becoming clients. It is to help people understand why planning ahead matters, what options are available, and where they can get further support if they need it.

Who it is for

Designed for local employers

The project is aimed at local organisations that want to support their staff with practical, accessible information.

Local organisations

Beginning in Stratford-upon-Avon, before expanding into Warwick, Leamington Spa and nearby areas.

20–250 staff

Large enough for employee support to be useful, but still local enough for a practical, personal approach.

Sector-neutral

The offer is not limited to one sector. Each workplace can be considered on its own merits.

In development

Early conversations are welcome

Elephant Legal at Work is currently being developed with local employers in mind. Early conversations are welcome, particularly with organisations that would like to explore whether a workplace session, webinar or employee information resource could be useful for their staff.

The offer can develop gradually, from a simple conversation or one-off session through to a more structured employee support arrangement where appropriate.
