Employment

All employers, regardless of size, face a variety of employment issues, from the drafting of employment policies to contentious tribunal claims. We advise both employers and employees on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law.

We combine technical expertise with the ability to find commercial and practical solutions to your employment issues. We work to gain knowledge of your businesses to enable us to put our advice into context and to effectively tailor our service to your needs.

Our team of solicitors adopts a proactive approach to helping you keep abreast of the frequent changes in employment law. We also assist in implementing these changes so as to avoid difficult employment issues rather than reacting to them.

We have experience in acting for a wide range of clients including public bodies, RSLs, private and public companies and individuals.

The key areas in which we can help you include:

• Drafting service agreements, employment contracts and employment policies and procedures.
  
• Dealing with disciplinary and grievance issues.
  
• Advising on collective issues including redundancy programmes.
  
• Dealing with reorganisations.
  
• Advising on equal opportunity and discrimination issues.

• Enforcing restrictive covenants and confidentiality obligations.
