Employment
Working With You
The Employment law team offers commercial, practical advice and solutions. Our highly experienced lawyers ensure that your needs are catered for, whether in the preparation of documents, advice, training and seminars or handling claims.
Practical Advice
Clients can expect a firm of solicitors to know the law. We pride ourselves on giving commercial and practical advice for your business, letting you know the options and guiding you to the right solution.
Prevention and Proactivity
Employee disputes inevitably involve disruption to your business. We believe that prevention is better than cure and can offer a broad service to ensure that your policies and procedures are legally compliant and capable of being understood. We offer seminars together with newsletters and briefings to ensure you stay up to date with changes in the law.
Helpline and HR Assure
The Employment team understands that you often need fast-response assistance when dealing with employee issues. We offer practical solutions to this with monthly helpline facilities so that named staff can ring us for advice at an early stage to avoid potential problems.
We have a value for money employment solutions package called HR Assure which is an online facility providing up-to-date document reviews as well as a telephone helpline if required. The package allows for fixed tariffs and insurance cover if desired.
