Whether you are considering dismissing an employee, require advice on a claim brought against you or need to know if your policies, procedures and staff handbook are legislation compliant, our experienced lawyers are able to help.

Prevention is often better than cure. One of the most important factors for employers is to take preventative action before problems arise. It is not simply a case of protecting against claims – there are numerous matters that employers must keep abreast of in order to protect themselves. We provide assistance on all matters including:

• Contracts – have you provided your employees with written contracts to clarify the basis on which they work for you to preserve both parties’ rights? We provide a full contract drafting service

• Whether a proposed dismissal is fair or not. Employers that believe a dismissal is fully justified sometimes receive an expensive shock when a Tribunal or Court decide otherwise. Let us advise before you dismiss. It could save you time, money and inconvenience

• A full ‘legal health check’ of all your policies and procedures
