Case studies
flatfair was founded in 2016, with an ambition to revolutionise renting for the better. Their secure rental solution has proved its worthiness, scaling through the challenging early startup years, right through to a global pandemic that shut down the housing market entirely. Today, flatfair is a phenomenal success story, and a rapidly scaling business with no signs of stopping. Rental solutions provider, flatfair has taken the rental market by storm, simplifying the lives of renters, landlords, and agents, in the process. As flatfair has scaled its operations, so too has its team, leading the business to an increasing need for UK employment law expertise. As part of our Flamingo Subscription, we provided flatfair’s sole HR specialist with practical legal support across a number of employment-related matters. Below we tackle how we helped the rental solutions provider, and the impact employment law support had on the business.

As a lean team, flatfair only has one HR professional to manage the welfare of the team and the business. As a result, they needed a bolt-on employment law team that could boost capacity, slot in during busy periods, and provide on-demand support as and when needed. And, that’s exactly where we came in.
Their sole HR professional needed support ensuring that the business was squeaky clean on its employment law obligations, in addition to needing support with ad hoc projects. As a result, we stepped in.
We worked with flatfair’s HR professional to provide support and advice on a range of small-and large-scale HR and employment law issues. This included strategic guidance and practical advice on a wide range of employment law issues, including:
Bolstered by expert employment law advice, flatfair was able to manage ongoing employment matters with confidence. Similarly, their sole HR professional was able to manage their workload, protect the business and its people, and do so to a high standard that was backed by UK law.
“While the situation itself is challenging, having an opportunity to learn from your experience, the trust to ask questions and confidence in the resilience of the process we’re applying to our response, has made it less difficult. I look forward to continuing to work with you and the rest of the team.”
