Employment Law

We advise and represent employers and employees in all types of employment tribunal proceedings.  We also undertake non-contentious employment law.

By forging proactive and open relationships with our clients, we are able to offer clear, relevant and user-friendly advice.  We advise employers on how to comply with ever-changing employment law requirements in the face of increased employee awareness, so as to minimise the risk of claims arising in the first place.

We cover all types of employment tribunal case, including unfair and wrongful dismissal, sex, race, disability, religious, sexual orientation and age discrimination, flexible working, working time regulations, rights of part-time workers, public interest disclosure, breach of contract, redundancy, unlawful deduction, employee monitoring, transfer of undertakings, holiday pay, sick pay, maternity and paternity rights, disciplinary hearings, grievances and appeals.

We also cover non-contentious areas such as the drafting of employment contracts, statements of particulars of employment, staff handbooks, service agreements, confidentiality clauses and restrictive covenants.  We advise on the enforceability of contractual terms such as restrictive covenants, varying employment contracts, internal policies and procedures, workforce reorganisations, trade union relations, severance packages and drafting and advising upon compromise agreements for both employers and employees. 

Emploment Law

We advise on how to implement employment practices which comply with both regulatory requirements and best practice.

We are experienced in negotiating the settlement of claims, as well as dealing with ACAS.  Where settlement cannot be achieved, we can undertake or arrange tribunal advocacy on behalf of clients as necessary.

We provide clients with clear and realistic written cost estimates in respect of any work you instruct us to undertake, and will update those estimates as the case proceeds. We also keep under constant review with clients the merits of the client’s and the opponent’s case, and will compare with the client the cost and risk of proceeding with a case relative to the possible benefits of doing so.
