Employment Law

Do you find that problems with your employees are taking up too much of your time?  Do you want to take on a new director or senior person and you want to make sure you get the terms right in case in turns out they aren't really the best fit?

Are you thinking about making redundancies but need to be sure you don't end up in an employment tribunal?

 Has an employee left and poached your customers?

We advise businesses large and small on employment policies and procedures to avoid disputes where possible but also to resolve them if they occur.  

Our services include: 

• Drafting contracts of employment and consultancy agreements
• Drafting policies and procedures for Staff Handbooks
• Drafting and advising on and enforcing post termination covenants and restrictions, including injunction proceedings.
• Redundancy programmes and reorganisation
• Application of disciplinary procedures and potential dismissals
• Changing terms and conditions of employment
• Negotiating termination packages and compromise agreements
• Employment Tribunals – helping you fight claims when they can't be avoided

 Employment law is complex and Tribunal claims can be costly and time consuming for you. If involved at an early stage, we can mean the difference between winning and losing the case.

We bring practical and cost effective solutions to employment relations and disputes.

We can also provide in house training and guidance for your managers and teams to give them a greater understanding of how best to handle difficult employment issues, with the aim of avoiding disputes and claims.
