Employment
Employment
Contracts, disputes, settlements and redundancy. For people who work and the businesses that employ them.
Work problems tend to arrive at the worst possible time and come with a deadline attached. Whether you have been made redundant, handed a settlement agreement or are being treated unfairly, we tell you quickly where you stand and what your options are.
For employers we draft contracts and policies, advise on restructures and disciplinaries, and help you get difficult decisions right the first time.
Typical situations
Redundancy that does not feel right
A settlement agreement you have been asked to sign
Unpaid wages or holiday pay
Discrimination or harassment at work
Drafting contracts and handbooks for a growing team
How it works
Tell us what has happened. We will tell you the same day whether there is a claim and what the deadlines are.
We agree a plan and a budget. Most matters settle without a tribunal hearing.
If it does go further, the same solicitor stays with you from first call to final outcome.
How we charge
Settlement agreement reviews are a fixed fee, usually paid by the employer. Other matters are hourly with a written estimate and monthly updates.
Not sure this is the right area?
Describe your situation and we will match you with the right practice area.
Talk it through with a solicitor.
A first conversation is free of jargon and free of pressure. We will tell you what we would do and what it would cost.
