Employment Law for Employers
We help you put the right contracts and policies in place, and give clear, practical advice if a dispute does arise.
Employing people brings real legal risk alongside the reward. A disciplinary process handled badly can end in a tribunal claim. A handbook copied from somewhere else might not comply with the law. We advise on the issues that come up across the employment relationship: disciplinary and performance issues, dismissals, redundancies and TUPE transfers, contracts of employment and employee handbooks, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, and parental rights, flexible working and equal pay.
Most employment disputes trace back to a process that went wrong months before anyone called a solicitor.
Sometimes the call comes before anything’s happened: a new starter needs a contract, a handbook hasn’t been touched in years, or you want covenants in place before a senior hire joins. Other times it comes after: a grievance has escalated, a redundancy is imminent, or a settlement agreement has landed in an employee’s inbox with ten days to consider it. We work at both ends, and everywhere in between.
If you’re not sure which of these fits your situation, call us, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
