Employment law is a fluid and fast-changing area of law. Being alive to your obligations as an employer and recruiting, retaining and managing the right people, has never been more critical. Non-compliance with obligations can be expensive, in financial and reputational terms. We work with clients on proactive reviews of their employment policy to ensure they adopt up-to-the-minute employment practices. We produce imaginative and practical responses to the impact of new law on our clients' businesses.
Important changes in employment law and practice and the introduction of new legislation and government policies, continue to have a big impact on employment law. This has led to a growing need for in-depth employment law advice.
Our lawyers provide you with informed, confidential advice on the full range of employment issues. We use our experience and resources to keep you up to date on developments in employment law and what they mean in practice for your business.
Our work includes advising on the individual and collective employment aspects of related regulatory and disclosure obligations; service contracts and related documents; confidentiality and restrictive covenants and contracting out of services. We believe in the importance of building long-term intuitive working relationships with our clients. Therefore we put together industry-experienced teams to provide continuity and a thorough understanding of the client's business environment and the issues facing it.
We advise on a wide range of both contentious and non-contentious employment matters, including:
• Dismissal of employees and employment disputes, including breach of contract and restrictive covenants
• Review of employment practices and policy
• Employment aspects of acquisitions and disposals especially in relation to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE)
• Discrimination, equal pay and the increasingly regulated areas of working time, health and safety and 'family-friendly' policies
• Impact of EU legislation on UK employment matters
• Collective redundancies, employee consultations and alternatives to redundancy
• Terms of engagement of employees - especially key senior personnel
• Corporate governance, including phased payments and avoiding rewards for failure
• Prepare cases for the Employment Tribunal
The majority of employment disputes settle prior to a hearing and so the group has considerable experience in negotiating settlements and resolutions.
