What’s the statutory redundancy consultation period for 50 employees?
When proposing to dismiss 20–99 employees within 90 days for redundancy, collective consultation must begin at least 30 days before the first dismissal. For 100 or more, this extends to 45 days.
Consultation must cover ways to avoid dismissals, reduce numbers affected, and mitigate consequences.

How it works
Three steps to a cited answer
Ask in plain English
"What are the notice requirements for making 15 staff redundant?" or "Check whether Acme Holdings Ltd has any outstanding charges." No jargon or special syntax needed.
Specialists search authoritative UK sources
The relevant specialists are selected automatically. They search legislation.gov.uk, Companies House, HMRC manuals, Land Registry, FCA Handbook, and other official databases. Hybrid search combines semantic understanding with exact keyword matching.
Get cited answers you can use
Every answer references the exact section of legislation, HMRC manual, or Companies House record. Financial calculations show full workings with published rates. Where no verified source exists, the system says so rather than guessing.
Data & Security
Your data. Your server. European jurisdiction.
Each client gets a dedicated server. Your data never touches another client's infrastructure, never trains models, and never leaves European jurisdiction.
Single-tenant isolation
Your own dedicated server. Separate database, separate network, separate API keys. No shared resources between clients.
EU/UK data residency
Servers in Germany. AI inference in the Netherlands. Every layer of the stack stays in European jurisdiction. Zero US legal exposure.
Zero data retention
All AI providers contractually guarantee zero retention. Your prompts and responses are processed and forgotten. DPA included as standard.
Powered by Node+
All capabilities are orchestrated by Node+ — one conversation that routes across specialist knowledge bases, calculators, and live UK data feeds automatically.
Who it's for
Built for firms that can't use ChatGPT
You handle client-confidential information. You need to cite your sources. You can't send data to US servers. Enterprise AI vendors want six figures and six months. We built the third option.
Law Firms
Draft a redundancy consultation timeline. Check whether a Section 21 notice is still valid. Review a staff handbook against current employment legislation. Research case law for tribunal preparation. Every answer cites the Act and section number.
Accountancy Practices
Calculate SDLT on a mixed-use property. Model a client's CGT exposure with principal private residence relief. Check the annual allowance taper for a high-earning pension contributor. All calculations use published HMRC rates with full workings.
Property & Mortgage Firms
Pull sold prices for a client's target postcode. Compare lender criteria against a self-employed borrower's profile. Check EPC ratings and flood risk. Run an affordability calculation and estimate SDLT in the same conversation.
Regulated Financial Services
Screen a counterparty against OFSI sanctions. Look up an FCA-authorised firm's permissions and appointed representatives. Check right-to-work requirements for a sponsored worker. Cross-reference Companies House filings with FCA register entries.

Questions from compliance teams
Why can't we just use Microsoft Copilot?
+
Microsoft is a US company subject to the CLOUD Act. US authorities can compel access to data regardless of where it's physically stored. For UK regulated firms handling client-confidential information, this creates a compliance risk that can't be contracted away. PrivateNode processes everything in European jurisdiction with zero US legal exposure.
How is this different from US AI tools technically?
+
We use high-performance AI models running entirely on EU infrastructure. The key differences: jurisdiction (your data never leaves European sovereignty), architecture (dedicated single-tenant infrastructure, not shared), and specialisation (UK regulatory data that US tools lack entirely).
What about professional body guidance on AI?
+
SRA, ICAEW, RICS, and REC guidance all require firms to understand where client data is processed and maintain confidentiality obligations. Our architecture — dedicated EU infrastructure, zero retention, ISO 27001 certified hosting, full audit trails — directly addresses these requirements. We provide compliance documentation for your risk assessment.
Can we combine our own documents with UK legislation?
+
Yes. Your contracts, policies, and precedents are indexed alongside legislation.gov.uk, Companies House, and tribunal decisions on your dedicated server. One query searches both your archives and live UK law, with citations to both.
Why European infrastructure instead of UK-only?
+
The EU has a UK adequacy decision and SRA explicitly approves EEA hosting for client data. European data centres offer the best combination of AI infrastructure availability, GDPR compliance, and zero US legal exposure.
UK-only hosting is available on request for firms requiring strict UK-only data residency.
How do I know the answers are accurate?
+
Every answer includes citations to the exact section of legislation, HMRC manual, or Companies House record it drew from. You can click through to the original source. Financial calculations use published government rates with band-by-band breakdowns. Where no verified source exists, the system tells you rather than guessing.
Who owns the data we upload?
+
You do. PrivateNode acts as a data processor under your instructions. You remain the data controller at all times. We provide a full Data Processing Agreement as standard, covering GDPR Article 28 requirements. Your data is stored on your dedicated server in EU jurisdiction, never shared with other clients, and never used for model training. You can export or delete all data at any time.
Enterprise AI without enterprise complexity.
European infrastructure. Your data stays yours. Live in five days.
