The law influences every stage of the employment process from selection and appointment to promotion and dismissal. Even after you have left the job, there are still issues about what you can or cannot do for your new employer and your obligations to maintain your ex-employer’s secrets.

Our function is to explain your rights and obligations to you at every stage of the employment process. We will support you and give you advice to enable you to make informed decisions. Where appropriate, you will be advised as to the likely chances of success in bringing a claim before a Tribunal or Court and the probable levels of compensation or damages that you may be awarded.

Clear advice will always be given about our fees.

Our expertise includes:

• negotiations over the new terms of your contract of employment
• discrimination issues before and during employment, such as age, race, sex or disability
  
• redundancy/unfair dismissal
• representation at Tribunals and at Court
  
• the enforceability of restrictive covenants
  
• the right to notice and wrongful dismissal
• maternity and paternity
• harassment & whistleblowing

You will no doubt be aware that there have been enormous developments in employment law over the last few years and there is no sign of this letting up. Having regard to the complexity of this area of law and the effect that it has on your life, you need expert advice and we can give it.
