Employment Law

We have significant practical expertise in advising and representing Employers. As many problems are caused by poor groundwork or lack of compliance to existing legislation we can review your existing policies and procedures, your contracts of employment and your standard terms & conditions.

Some kind of dispute or problem will always arise at some point, often stemming from an insignificant beginning. We aim to resolve employment disputes within your policy framework and endeavour to find solutions long before they get to an Employment Tribunal. However, it is not always possible to avoid a formal action, in which case we can help you prepare and represent you in the Employment Tribunal.

We can highlight areas in which change needs to be made and also carry out staff training in contentious areas like discrimination. We can also assist your Human Resources people and managers through your in-house processes helping them prepare for difficult interviews. We also have helped several organisations put in place innovative business-driven policies which take them away from mere compliance and make the legislation work to the betterment of the business. Through our consulting arm we also have experience of creating pay and reward systems.

Some of the more common areas we deal with

• Unfair Dismissal

• Discrimination (of all kinds, race, gender, age, disability etc.)
