EMPLOYMENT

We advise employers and employees on all aspects of employment law, from the start of the employment relationship through to its termination and any disputes that may follow. Our approach is practical, commercially aware and focused on resolution — whether that means careful negotiation, mediation or, where necessary, tribunal proceedings.

Contracts & Policies

We draft and advise on employment contracts, service agreements, staff handbooks, restrictive covenants and workplace policies. We help employers establish clear, compliant terms from the outset and advise employees on the implications of the terms they are being asked to accept.

Disputes & Tribunal Claims

We advise and represent clients in employment disputes, including unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, redundancy, wage claims and breach of contract. We have experience of ACAS early conciliation, negotiation, mediation and Employment Tribunal proceedings, and we focus on achieving the best practical outcome for our clients.

Settlement Agreements

We advise both employers and employees on settlement agreements, ensuring that the terms are fair, clearly understood and properly documented. For employers, we help manage exits efficiently and reduce risk. For employees, we ensure that the agreement reflects the full value of their position.

Workplace Issues & Compliance

We advise employers on day-to-day employment issues, including disciplinary and grievance procedures, performance management, sickness absence, family leave, flexible working requests and workplace investigations. We help businesses manage their people responsibilities in a way that is lawful, proportionate and practical.
