Employment law

Whether hiring or firing, forewarned is forearmed. If you are taking on new staff, new and existing anti-discrimination legislation such as sex, race, religion, disability and age legislation provide plenty of traps for the unwary. As well as helping you draft your employment contracts, we can make sure that your business is fully compliant with current employment laws and regulations. We can draft disciplinary and grievance procedures, and provide guidance in their use.

If you are planning redundancies, need to terminate a contract of employment ,or are selling your business, we can structure the transaction to minimise your exposure to claims of unfair dismissal, and ensure that you are fully compliant with TUPE rules if relevant. If an employee has made, or is threatening to make a claim against you under employment laws, we can provide you with up to date and practical advice. We have represented clients in industrial tribunals throughout the UK.
