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.
We advice our clients on 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
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
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.
