Employment Law
We provide specialist and focused advice on all aspects of the employment relationship.
We have advised both employers and employees from the early stages of an employment relationship, including the drafting and review of contracts of employment to dealing with disciplinary issues and negotiating exit packages. We have also assisted with various management issues such as dealing with working time and wages queries, allegations of bullying and harassment and grievances.
We have conducted cases brought before the Employment Tribunal and in the Employment Appeal Tribunal as well as County Court and High Court actions. We have advised on dealing with situations with the purpose of avoiding litigation where possible or, in the event proceedings are underway, in handling the claim and acheiving a swift resolution where appropriate.
