Employment

We act for both employers and employees in a wide range of work related matters. We adopt a proactive approach with the aim of avoiding a dispute from escalating. From the employers prospective this allows you to concentrate on your business interests rather than diverting your time and energy in attending Court and Tribunal Hearings. From the workers perspective this provides peace of mind. Such an approach also minimises legal fees, not to mention the escalating awards of compensation running in to tens and hundreds of thousands of pounds which are increasingly being reported and heard of.

We provide clear, concise and practicable advice on all aspects of employment law including:

• Drafting and preparing contracts of employment.
• Altering terms and conditions of employment.
• Employment policies and procedures including disciplinary and grievance policies.
• Termination, including unfair dismissal, redundancy, TUPE and severance or compromise agreements.
• Discrimination including sex, race, disability, religion, sexual orientation and age.
• Maternity/paternity and other family friendly rights.
• Restrictive covenants.

If you do require representation at a Hearing before a Court or Employment Tribunal you can be rest assured that your case would be in safe hands with our in-house solicitor advocate who is a member of The Solicitors Association of Higher Rights.
