Employment Contracts, Policies and Procedures

As an employer, you have legal obligations regarding the documentation you provide to employees. To protect you and your employees it is always advisable to provide a written contract that clearly defines the terms and conditions of employment.

Our team of specialist employment lawyers can advise and assist with drafting contracts of employment and other policies and procedures and ensuring they are successfully implemented. We can also assist with revising and updating employment documentation and implementing changes to terms and conditions of employment. We will always take the time to get to know your business and advise you on any specific information that may need to be included, to meet your needs.

Redundancy, Restructuring & Business Re-organisation

If your business is going through change, it is important to consider the rights that employees have in relation to business restructuring and redundancy.

Expert advice can be vital to a business to ensure that the correct legal processes are followed, and costly mistakes are avoided. Our experienced employment law solicitors can help you by advising on all aspects of business re-organisation, including consultation obligations and ensuring you follow redundancy procedures that are fair and legally compliant.

Disciplinary Action

We can advise on when it is appropriate to take disciplinary action against an employee and the correct procedures to follow, to ensure that the risks to your business are minimised. We can provide practical day to day advice to help you manage workplace problems.

Effective Employee Relations and Dealing with Grievances

We offer pragmatic advice in relation to managing employees on a day to day basis ensuring that you minimise risks to your business and maintain effective employee relations. For example, we can assist you with managing sickness absences, dealing with performance concerns, dealing with grievances and any other issues affecting the employment relationship.

Employment Tribunal Claims

If you have a claim made against you by a current or previous employee or a prospective employee, we can work with you at the early stages to identify potential risks and strategies to approach the claim. It is important to know as early as possible, what the claim could be worth and what resources you want to allocate in defending the claim.

In addition to providing assistance throughout the employment tribunal process, we can assist you to negotiate settlements to avoid matters going to a tribunal.
