Your challenges
We understand the importance of getting practical advice on all issues relating to employment from the point of recruitment, to the point of dismissal and beyond, for example, enforcing restrictive covenants and employment tribunal claims. Whatever your requirements, our extensive experience ensures that your advisors are at the forefront of expertise in this area.
Achieving your ambitions
Our employment team is one of the largest outside London and acts for numerous local authority and public sector clients. Sometimes our advice focuses on the key individual in a senior position and at other times the issues effect an entire workforce. As your workforce changes, we can advise on all areas affecting your human resources needs.
Where disputes are unavoidable, the team deals with all types of litigation and dispute resolution in employment tribunals and in County or High Court as well as the appeal courts.
Our experience will be used for your benefit. Our team has extensive experience of dealing with equal pay claims, having acted for numerous local authorities. We are able to provide comprehensive advice, drawing on experts from other related areas such as corporate governance, procurement, commercial agreements and major projects.
The strength you need
Our extensive employment team is able to help you deal with the increasingly complex world of employment issues. We also offer an HR consultancy service, providing support on an as-required basis to supplement your own in-house provision. We also provide regular training seminars and our periodical, Employment Post, three times a year, as well as a monthly email alerter service. (To download the latest copy of this or any of our other publications, or to see details of our latest seminars, see the "Publications and updates" and “Events and seminars” sections on the right of this page.)
Lawyers you can trust
Our large employment team ensures that we are able to tailor our advice to best meet your needs. Our lawyers are recognised across the UK and are rated highly by Chambers UK and the Legal 500. Each member of the team deals with both non-contentious work and with employment disputes. We pride ourselves on our close knowledge of our clients and their business sector and we have a particularly close working relationship with our local authority clients, ensuring that we are, at all times, responsive and available to provide practical advice.
