employment

overview

Our employment lawyers have considerable experience in advising companies and individuals on a full range of employment matters, including the preparation of directors’ service contracts, terms of employment and company policy documents. We provide day to day advice on potential problems such as disciplinaries and grievances, managing sickness absence, TUPE transfers and conducting redundancy programmes. We support our colleagues in the corporate team on corporate transactions with input into the due diligence process, drafting and reviewing of employment-related indemnities, warranties and disclosures and practical advice to clients on managing the integration of businesses.

We also advise on employment tribunal proceedings, such as wrongful and unfair dismissal and discrimination claims, and High Court litigation such as injunction proceedings for enforcement of restrictive covenants or damages claims for breach of confidentiality. We recognise the difficult and sensitive nature of the issues that can arise for both employers and employees and we pride ourselves on finding the appropriate solutions for each individual situation.
