Employment law

Making sure your working practices are in line with current legislation is essential to protect you, your business and your employees, allowing you to effectively manage your workforce and meet your commercial objectives while staying within the law.

Employment dispute resolution

While most employment issues can be avoided by having the right planning and procedures in place, sometimes disputes with your employees are unavoidable. When such issues do occur, we will listen to your priorities and work with you and your employees to find fast, effective resolutions that protect your commercial interests and reputation.

Early conciliation

Since 6th May 2014, it is mandatory for an employee pursuing an employment tribunal claim to first notify the Advisory, Conciliatory and Arbitration Service (ACAS) to give the parties the opportunity to settle or resolve the potential claim amicably through Early Conciliation (EC). We can advise and represent you during this process, helping to find a fast solution that protects your business and reputation.

Employment Tribunals

Where it is not possible to solve an employment dispute through the early conciliation process, you may be required to go to an Employment Tribunal to resolve the matter. Where this is the case, we can advise and represent you, giving you a realistic assessment of the likely outcome and helping you to achieve a positive result.

Settlement agreements

When making redundancies and dismissals, it is advisable to plan ahead to avoid the potential for any claims for unfair dismissal. A settlement agreement allows you to offer employees a fair settlement in exchange for agreeing not to pursue a claim against you, protecting you and your business. We can advise you on where a settlement agreement is appropriate, draft the agreement and negotiate with your employees where necessary.
