Employment law advice
Human relationships are complex enough but when you add in the multitude of employment laws that now regulate the UK workplace (and which seem to grow every year) it’s no wonder that busy managers and HR departments need legal support on a regular basis. The advice we offer is different: we won’t just tell you the law – we will tell you what it means for your business.
We know that our clients want to comply with their legal responsibilities but our employment law advice can help you to achieve far more than compliance for compliance sake.
Our experienced team is dedicated to providing commercial, pragmatic advice, and will work with you, building up a real relationship with your managers to ensure that whatever the problem we can achieve the best resolution for your business every time. With timely and realistic advice you can achieve your aims and aspirations within the law. Just as importantly, taking timely advice can help avert the escalation of issues that might otherwise result in costly litigation.
Employment law advice takes many different forms but our team is large enough to cope with whatever our clients throw at us. We are regularly asked to support our clients in carrying out dismissals, including large scale redundancies and conducting disciplinary and grievance hearings, avoiding unlawful discrimination, understanding the application of family friendly rights, drafting, reviewing and updating their contractual documentation, policies and handbooks and understanding working time and employee representation requirements.
We can help you by:
- giving you a clear, simple explanation of the technical stuff tailored to your particular needs
- designing solutions that move your business on - in the direction you want it to go
- keeping you up to date with the latest legal developments through our range of briefings and seminars
