Employment
All employers, regardless of size, face a variety of employment issues, from the drafting of employment policies to contentious tribunal claims. Our employment lawyers advise both employers and employees on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law.
We combine technical expertise with the ability to find commercial and practical solutions to our clients’ employment issues. We work to gain knowledge of our clients’ businesses to enable us to put our advice into context and to effectively tailor our service to their needs.
Our team adopts a proactive approach to helping clients to keep abreast of the frequent changes in employment law. We also assist in implementing these changes so as to avoid difficult employment issues rather than reacting to them.
We have experience in acting for a wide range of clients including public bodies, RSLs, private and public companies and individuals.
The key areas in which we can help include:
- Drafting service agreements, employment contracts and employment policies and procedures
- Dealing with disciplinary and grievance issues
- Advising on collective issues including redundancy programmes
- Dealing with reorganisations
- Advising on equal opportunity and discrimination issues
- Drafting compromise agreements and advising on severance arrangements
- Conducting tribunal and court proceedings
- Enforcing restrictive covenants and confidentiality obligations
- Advising on transfers of undertakings
- Advising on mergers, acquisitions and outsourcing arrangements
- Advising on pensions issues
