Employment law (employer)

advice from an employment law solicitor – Surrey and South East

The employment department has experience in all areas of employment law and is able to provide straightforward commercial advice as and when you need it.

Employment law is the fastest growing area of law and employees' rights are constantly changing. We work closely with our clients to ensure that they are alerted to developments and that their businesses are prepared for them.

Employment issues often require swift action. An appropriate member of our team will work with you from the outset within the time frame you set.

Early specialist advice is invaluable in any employment dispute. If you are seeking an early resolution we will advise you on how to get the best deal and structure it to your best advantage.

Our principle areas of practice aimed at preventing disputes are:

  • Employment contracts
  • Redundancy and restructure advice
  • Termination agreements
  • Disciplinary and dismissal advice
  • Advising on employee's rights
  • Drafting disciplinary and grievance procedures

If the dispute escalates into a tribunal claim we can advise you of the best course of action for you or your business as well as dealing with all the legal and procedural issues.

This may involve:

  • Drafting tribunal documents
  • Tribunal practice and procedure
  • Settlement negotiations
  • Employment tribunal representation
  • Appeals from the employment tribunal
  • Enforcement of tribunal claims
