Employment

Over recent years, employment law has become increasingly wide-ranging and ever more complex.  Employment law is subject to constant change through legislation, the courts’ interpretation and even ministerial diktat.  Consequently we assist employers in taking a pro-active approach in managing their employees and the working environment.

Our specialist unit has extensive experience in all aspects of employment law and our advice is tailored to the particular needs of our clients.  We often work alongside in-house HR departments to provide day-to-day advice but can also offer our own HR function to our clients where necessary.

Our expertise includes:

• Contracts and terms of employment;
• Disciplinary, grievance and capability procedures;
• Equal opportunities, including defending equal pay litigation;
• Working time rules and calculations;
• Part time and fixed term employees;
• Age, disability, race, sex, sexual orientation and religious discrimination;
• Dismissals, including advice on unfair, constructive, wrongful, redundancy and retirement dismissals;
• TUPE and related issues;
• Pensions – occupational, personal and public sector;
• Restrictive covenants;
• Family friendly working issues;
• Compromise agreements;
• Human rights;
• Employment of non-EEA nationals;
• Appraisal systems;
• Whistle blowing;
• Representation at employment tribunals.

Unusually for a firm of solicitors we have a HR Adviser within our employment team who is able to assist our clients on day to day HR issues as well as on specific projects.  The distinct advantage of this is that you know our HR Adviser has the full support or our experienced employment lawyers.

We also provide an employment law “hotline” facility for clients on an annual retainer basis as well as a thrice-yearly newsletter and a monthly e-mail bulletin highlighting all of the latest important developments in employment law.
