Employment

Employment law is complex and those who misinterpret or fail to comply with procedures face significant penalties. We understand how challenging it can be to maintain focus on your core business processes and to comply with fast changing regulations.

Our services include:

• Contracts of employment
• Preparation of company policies and employee handbooks
• Advice on restructuring and redundancies
• Employee remuneration and benefits
• Transfer of undertakings (TUPE)

The precise mix of support is:

• Flexible employment law advice delivered face to face, by telephone or in writing, depending on   your business requirements
• Full initial review, and ongoing annual revisions of existing contracts and employment law   compliance checks
• Proactive employment law updates keeping your business informed and fully compliant
• Advice and support if required, in the event of legal proceedings
• Support and advice for any internal disciplinary and related employment matters. Our employment   team is widely recognised for its specialist capabilities. Having acted for many years for a national   trade association who actively pursue the enforcement of restrictive covenants on behalf of its   members, our team is able to respond rapidly to any unlawful employee competition by pursuing   High Court injunctions.

WESS

To lighten your workload we have devised a retained employment law service, ‘WESS’. The key attribute of WESS is that unlike a lot of other employment law services, it is a bespoke service that can be designed to suit your business needs and can be provided with or without an insurance option. WESS is delivered through bespoke fixed term agreements with pre-agreed costs. This allows clients to concentrate on their core business safe in the knowledge that they have a specialist team supporting them.
