Employment Law

What can we do for you?

Chambers UK - A Client's Guide to the Legal Profession states "this 'first class' employment unit ... has established a reputation for its 'depth of expertise', manifested through a number of high profile cases".

Our comprehensive services in employment law fall into three areas: the preparation of the right documentation; advice on individual issues and disputes; and representation at tribunals and courts. We also provide individually tailored in-house training and seminars covering all aspects of employment law.

Getting the paperwork right:

We prepare all types of terms and conditions of employment, contracts and service agreements – tailored to meet your specific needs. We also prepare employment policies, procedures and company handbooks which reflect the particular requirements of your business and the industry in which it operates.

With regard to the terms upon which particular employees are engaged, we can help you to prepare (and enforce) restrictive covenants, garden leave and confidentiality clauses, and other specialist conditions which may prove fundamental to the protection of your business.

Advice you can rely on:

We offer professional advice in respect of all disciplinary and competence issues ranging from initial disciplinary warnings through to dismissal. Each stage can be vital to ensuring success at any future employment tribunal.

We also advise on trade union recognition, industrial action, and business re-organisations – including large scale redundancies. We can help you to deal with these matters both at an individual and collective level.

Particular business situations may be affected by the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 (TUPE) – and we can monitor and advise you in relation to these. TUPE has far reaching consequences not only when a business is sold or transferred but also when a service is out-sourced and in competitive tender situations.

There when you need us:

Every member of our team has the necessary experience to represent our clients at employment tribunals and courts in respect of any employment-related dispute. This includes unfair dismissal, discrimination (sex, race and disability), breach of contract and unlawful deduction from wages.
