Overview

Our specialist Employment team advises employers on the full spectrum of issues including:

• employee benefits and rights
• discrimination
• dismissal and grievance procedures
• transfers of undertakings
• restructures and redundancy

Our approach

We first seek to understand your business and its needs, and responding to this by providing the resources of our entire team. Normally one person will be responsible for dealing with each matter, but we expect to cover for each other, to know what is happening, and to respond to your urgent matters promptly. We are aware that urgent matters have a habit of extending beyond traditional working hours.

Our documentation is written in plain English which is fair to both parties and demonstrates good practice; but it is also designed to provide robust protection for your business. Our day to day support will help you to negotiate the legal minefield which all employers now have to tread, and more importantly, provides you with workable solutions to the management of the whole range of HR needs and requirements.

For advice and assistance in major change management issues we will discuss, agree and design an approach so that we devote the necessary resources to the matter within the required time, within your budget, and in accordance with your culture.

Our information and training services are extremely popular and designed to ensure we provide a complete service to you which is pro-active. This enables you to anticipate the consequences of changing law for your organisation, and will help you make plans in advance.
