Employment

Managing a workforce, large or small, is no easy task these days. There is a thicket of legislation and European directives surrounding many issues which can make things very difficult. For example, there is now extensive legislation regarding the rights of disabled workers. There have also been several high profile cases dealing with age discrimination. We can help to ensure that you do not fall foul of the law by devising procedures for you, or advising you on the best course of action if you are faced with a grievance or other claim. We can advise behind the scenes, or participate as your legal adviser at any stage of the disciplinary process. We are also highly experienced in representing employers at Tribunal hearings and will advise throughout on your range of options, from possible economic settlement that saves your key workers from being tied up in attendance as witnesses, to vigorous and uncompromising defence on principle right through to final judgment.

As part of our service, when you come to us with a problem we will not only help you address that particular matter but can give constructive suggestions about any changes in HR policy or procedure that might avoid similar situations in the future. We can also advise on Compromise Agreements to smooth the exit procedure where an employment relationship has broken down irretrievably. These can include clauses requiring confidentiality so former workers cannot try to damage your company after final severance - the penalty can include your being able to claw back any final settlement payment where appropriate. We can also advise on alternative dispute resolution options such as mediation.

At every stage we will be ready to discuss with you the economic and practical implications of each course of action. We are always happy to discuss budgeting costs, and are open to discussing fee arrangements, such as interim or deferred plans, that will suit you and your company best. We can also offer cut rate ongoing consultancy arrangements so that you can contact us any time, including by telephone or email, for immediate advice on any staffing issues.

Early Action Can Be Vital

Speak to us as soon as you have a problem, and we will take immediate steps to identify your options and help you reach the resolution that best suits you and your organisation. Or if you would like to plan ahead we will be happy to meet with you, without obligation, to learn about your company and discuss your particular needs and how we can help you move forward.

So, if you have an employment problem:
