Employment law for your business
Whether you employ five people or 5,000, it can be a challenge to stay on top of the constant changes in employment law that today’s fast-evolving workplace demands.
Given all there is to think about when you’re running a business, how can you be confident your HR practices are in line with the latest legislation? And when things do go wrong, how do you minimise the risk and cost to your organisation.
Smart employment advice and support
We can help you draft employee contracts and review employee handbooks. We can bring you up to speed on compliance issues and advise you on the implications when you need to restructure or make redundancies. And if difficulties do arise over misconduct, dismissal, discrimination, redundancy or other employment disputes, our expert employment lawyers have the knowledge and experience to guide you through even the most complex of situations. Our priority is to help you gain a positive outcome for your organisation quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.

Preparing for an employment law meeting
When you need advice quickly, it helps to come prepared. We recommend bringing the following information (where applicable) to your initial consultation:
1. Contract details: employee contract details, settlement agreements, handbooks etc
2. Documents relating to the matter: e.g. in case of grievances these can include minutes of meetings, any notes/documents from disciplinary meetings, in the case of a company restructure the documents relevant to transfer etc.
3. Timeline of events: the series of relevant events, in date order, leading to you contacting us
Once you have instructed us, it would be helpful to provide us with the following information asap:-
1. Proof of ID: valid passport or driving licence
2. Proof of Address: utility bill of bank statement no less than three months old
It’s important to ensure you cover job title, duties, pay, working hours, holiday entitlement, notice period and any post-termination clauses e.g. non compete.
You must follow a fair and compliant process including meaningful consultations with affected employees, using objective selection criteria and ensuring sufficient notice. We recommend legal support to avoid any costly claims.
A settlement agreement can be used to bring an employment relationship to an end on agreed terms, due to redundancy or performance. It’s a mutual decision to part ways and helps prevent future claims.
