We recognise that all businesses adopt a slightly different approach to employee management. Whether you operate a dedicated Human Resources team or have no formal structure in place, you are likely to need expert employment law advice from time to time.
Employment law is an incredibly complex area of law, and even for an experienced HR professional, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest developments. However, getting things wrong can be costly, as many employers will know. We recognise that employers need to be fully and properly advised about the relevant law and procedures, but also take a pragmatic and commercial approach in the advice we give.
Our Employment Team specialises in all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law. The team offers practical, common-sense advice which balances the commercial realities of running a business with legal requirements. The team’s expertise includes:
- Advising on disciplinary action and grievance procedures
- Drafting service agreements, contracts of employment and consultancy agreements
- Representing businesses in defending employment tribunal claims
- Negotiating settlements of employment tribunal claims
- Providing advice regarding discrimination and harassment issues
- Drafting and advising on compromise agreements for departing employees
- Negotiating termination deals
- Advising on redundancy programs
- Providing advice regarding post-termination restrictions
- Advising on the employment aspects of corporate acquisitions and disposals, with expertise in multi-jurisdictional issues
- Bespoke in-house training on employment law.
