Law firm opens new office in Bristol Temple Quays


Greenway Scott, a specialist law advisory firm, has opened an office in Bristol’s Temple Quay development. 

 
This is an addition to their current premises in Cardiff, Swansea, Oxford and London. The office will be led by associate director Lorna Bolton, and solicitor Farhana Greenwood and Allan Griffiths, strategic consultant to the GS Verde Group.
 
Greenaway Scott focuses on fast growth clients and mergers and acquisitions.
 
Nigel Greenaway, director of Greenaway Scott, said:
 
“The GS Verde Group has enjoyed significant growth and success over the past 12 months, with 2018 already proving to be a landmark year.
 
“As we looked at our options to expand, the next logical step was to establish a base in Bristol, which is home to the UK’s second highest number of start-ups (outside of London).
 
“We feel this is the right strategic move for us following the establishment of our HQ in Cardiff in 2013, and the successful set up of our first regional office in Swansea and the West in 2017."

Greenway Scott is obviously a successful and steadily growing company, consistently expanding into new areas with plans to keep going. 
 
However, an area which is often overlooked as companies expand and grow is how they measure their time and attendance. (E.g. lateness, holidays, calculating working hours for payslips etc.) This is particularly important if they are also recruiting new staff, which Greenway do intend to do, since this puts more strain on existing processes.
 
As a legal firm, Greenway may be sensible enough to not be paying their employees according to paper timesheets. However, this ineffective form of time and attendance management is still practiced by hundreds of companies all over the country.
 
Inexact recording of hours (very easy with self-reporting retrospective timesheets!) can lead to potential infringements of the Working Time Directive, amongst other issues like tax discrepancies due to incorrect payslips. 
 
Many office environments believe that they don’t need any formal method of attendance reporting beyond emails or phone-calls. This is also short-sighted, as they are missing out on the chance to view the big picture their attendance with graphs and calendars. This enables accurate decision-making in situations like payroll discrepancies or absence reviews. 
 
The best solution is to centralise and automate your attendance management. With our clocking stations and top-quality time and attendance software, we can do exactly this.
 
Our clocking data, particularly with biometric clock-ins, removes all uncertainty from attendance management, and makes it much harder to commit wage fraud.
