Employment Law
Employment law issues demand close attention and require employment law specialists.
Employment law is a fast developing area of law, so our aim is to cater for all your needs and help you meet the challenges you face as a business or as an employee. We advise on all aspects of employment law from the commencement of an employment relationship to its termination and beyond.
Employment Law Solicitors
Our employment lawyers work closely with the firm's commercial and litigation departments, providing commercial and practical solutions to employment problems, performing Tribunal or court action if necessary. Our dispute resolution and litigation lawyers are dedicated to enforcing the law from both employee and employer perspective.
Dispute Resolution Solicitors
Our dispute resolution solicitors have extensive experience in advising employer clients on how to limit the risk of employment claims and resolve workplace disputes. We also use this knowledge to benefit our employee clients whose employers are not so well advised, assisting them in maximising termination packages or bringing Tribunal claims.
