Employment Law


We act for small businesses and for larger companies employing just a handful of staff or hundreds.

We have experience in drafting terms of engagement for staff ranging from company directors to independent professionals, and in attending industrial tribunals dealing with dismissal and redundancy cases.

We can offer a review of your terms of contract and dismissal procedures and advise on compensation for loss of office, the role of ACAS the government's conciliation service, and on employee's rights upon the sale of the business which employs them.

Here are just a few examples of the many queries on which we can assist :
~ who is responsible if an employee is injured by someone else at work
~ can the employer change the rate of pay or hours of work
~ does the employer have to follow the dismissal procedure in every case
~ should compensation be claimed in the county court or the industrial tribunal
~ what powers does ACAS have
~ what rights do part time or fixed term contract workers have
