Brookson to ‘unlock’ IR35 puzzle for Aberdeen market

A specialised law firm is making moves to help Aberdeen’s energy sector “unlock IR35” as the market, and demand for flexible labour, picks up.

The legislation came into effect on April 6 for the private sector and a mix of approaches have been taken; from risk-averse end-users placing blanket bans to limited company contractors, to companies who, worryingly, remain unaware of the change or its requirements.

Matthew Fryer, head of legal services at Brookson Legal, said: “Five months on, best practise is still evolving, so we need to be tailoring the right answer for the client depending on their individual circumstances.”
