Employment Law
Our firm offers expert legal services in all aspects of employment law, acting for both employers and employees.
We recognise that good employer / employee relationships are key to business success. We understand therefore the importance of clear, practical advice in workplace matters and are committed to providing solutions that protect rights, resolve disputes, and support fair and compliant working relationships.
For employers, we advise on contracts of employment, workplace policies, redundancy and restructuring, disciplinary and grievance procedures, and compliance with statutory obligations. Our approach is focused on minimising risk, ensuring legal compliance, and supporting effective workforce management.
For employees, we provide tailored guidance on workplace rights, including unfair or constructive dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, whistleblowing, and contractual disputes. Where required, we represent clients in negotiations, settlement agreements, and before employment tribunals to secure fair and just outcomes.
With experience acting for both employers and employees, we bring a balanced perspective to every matter, enabling us to anticipate the priorities and strategies of both sides. Our employment law practice is defined by professionalism, discretion, and client-focused service, ensuring that each client receives robust representation and clear advice
