Employment Law

We act for both employees and employers on the full range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters — from settlement agreements and grievances through to Employment Tribunal proceedings.

For employees we advise on unfair and constructive dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing detriment, equal pay, holiday pay and unlawful deductions, and we negotiate settlement agreements with a focus on protecting future earnings and reputation.

For employers we draft contracts, handbooks and restrictive covenants, advise on disciplinary, grievance and redundancy procedures, and defend Employment Tribunal claims.

Strict deadlines apply: most Tribunal claims must be presented within three months less one day of the act complained of, with ACAS Early Conciliation a mandatory pre-step.
