Employment law

Employment law continues to undergo considerable and far-reaching changes; in April 2009 the regime of Statutory Disciplinary and Dismissal Procedures were repealed and a new ACAS code will help determine whether an employer has acted reasonably in the context of Unfair Dismissal Claims. Tribunal decisions are constantly adding subtle nuances to the existing law. All of this places an increasing burden on employers to keep pace not only with their own obligations, but also with the evolving rights of employees. It’s hard enough to keep up with the shifting sands of employment law when that is your job, so to try to do that as well as run your business is a tall order indeed.

We can advise on the most up-to-date position and how current and new legislation affects your business; including advice on “dreaded” TUPE obligations. We can also act on your behalf to defend claims made by employees or negotiate terms for contracts.

We strive to build long term relationships with clients so the advice we give does not simply cater for the needs of your business today, but extends to deal with the common issues that may emerge in the future.
