We are experienced in fulfilling the diverse needs of a broad range of clients, whether they be employers or employees.
The law relating to employment has recently undergone very significant change. New legislation 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. We adopt a pragmatic approach to help our clients identify and solve problems which they face in dealing with every aspect of the employment relationship and to cope with changes in employment law.
We advise on issues arising at each stage of the employment relationship including recruitment, retention and dismissal and on restructuring and protecting businesses against competition.
We can advise both employers and employees 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, to protect their livelihood, and avoid expensive litigation.

- Contracts of employment and HR policies
- Disciplinary and grievance procedures
- Working Time and leave
