Employment

To say that employment legislation has become a minefield over recent years is probably an understatement. Employment legislation is increasingly complicated, more and more employees are aware of their rights and Tribunal awards and settlements are rising.

It is now more important than ever that businesses have the best possible guidance and support on employment-related issues. Our employment team has an expert understanding of employment law and provides practical and commercial solutions to businesses. We aim to help businesses prevent problems in the first place, but in the event of a dispute arising, we help find the quickest, simplest and most cost-effective solution.

Our employment team offers expertise in all areas of employment law, including:

• the preparation of employment documentation including contracts of employment, staff handbooks, disciplinary and grievance procedures;

• advice on general human resources issues such as sickness absence, pay disputes and disciplinary matters;

• TUPE and outsourcing;

• business reorganisations and redundancies;

• managing dismissals;

• preparing and advising on compromise agreements;

• defending claims in the employment tribunal and civil courts, including claims for breach of contract, wrongful & unfair dismissal, discrimination and equal pay.
