Employers

Our service covers a full range of employment law matters, including employee relations and in-company training, a complete litigation service and specific employment law advice when you need it. We work with line managers, HR professionals and employees in a variety of organisations from small start-up companies to large multinationals. Whatever your size or field of work, we can help you to identify the most effective strategy for you and your business.

Employment law advice

We can offer an advice service to designated individuals within your organisation. Provided by telephone or email, the service provides fast, up to the minute advice on employment-related issues.

Litigation and case management

We provide a complete litigation service in defence of claims in Employment Tribunals. This ranges from drafting an ET3 to attendance and representation at both pre and full hearings. Our case management service includes case preparation, conducting negotiations with an employee’s solicitor and Acas, and post-tribunal reviews.

Employment audits

It can be a challenge to keep your business up to date with frequent changes in employment legislation. Regular audits of your business practice can ease the burden and avoid potential complaints and claims. This can involve:

∙ Documentation review – we can review your employment contracts, handbooks, policies and procedures. We’ll advise you of any changes needed to comply with current legislation and can update or draft documents as necessary.

∙ Employee relations review – including guidance on current issues, the impact of organisational developments, recent case law that could affect your business and a review of any tribunal cases.

In-company training

We can help you to prevent or resolve workplace issues by taking a proactive approach to employment issues. Our interactive, in-company training aims to demystify all areas of employment law and can be tailored to your organisation’s structure and needs. Typical courses are:

∙ Employment law for line managers

∙ Handling grievances and disciplinary matters

∙ Discrimination and bullying – being aware of the issues/dealing with stress, absence and poor performance

∙ Dealing with stress, absence and poor performance

∙ Employment law update: the latest developments.
