The law relating to employment is undergoing very significant change. New legislation, often prompted by the European Commission, has given employees more rights than ever before, and placed more onerous responsibilities upon employers. The opportunities to fall foul of the law’s requirements are many and various.
Our experienced employment lawyers advise many local companies and individuals on contractual matters, claims prevention and the resolution of disputes.
Our aim is to provide clients with solutions, in the preparation of effective employment policies and contracts, the establishment of effective in house procedures, productive negotiations or, if a claim cannot be avoided, a satisfactory outcome.
We understand that the principal concerns of our clients (be they businesses or individuals) will be to avoid disruption, and to protect their livelihood. At the same time, however, we know that they have to operate within budgetary limits, and our fees policy (involving fixed fees and “no win no fee” arrangements wherever possible) acknowledges this. Appointments can be arranged at our Banstead or Sutton office, or at another location that is convenient for you.
Our work includes:
Contracts of employment and HR policies
Disciplinary and grievance procedures
Working Time Regulations
Dismissal and Discrimination cases
Recruitment procedures
Covenants in restraint of trade
Severance terms
Redundancy
Employment Tribunal cases
