Few areas of the law change as frequently as employment law. The increasing influence of the European Union has heightened the need for employers to keep up to date with legislation affecting the workplace.
Employees are often the greatest asset of a business and a good employer has a clear and concise understanding of workplace practices. It is a must for every employee to receive a written contract of employment but problems do of course still arise. The majority of problems can be solved amicably and we will always try to ensure that they are, but sometimes matters are taken out of an employer’s hands by an aggrieved employee. Having the correct policies and procedures in place, in line with recognised good practice, can save a lot of time and money. Failure to deal with employment issues can be expensive in terms of management time and, in difficult cases, the legal costs of defending claims and the potential risk of substantial monetary awards by Tribunals and Courts can be prohibitive.
Our diverse range of experience means we are able to provide a complete and well-rounded service which focuses on providing practical advice and commercial solutions.

• Acting for employers and employees in cases in the employment tribunals
• Advising on the implementation and enforcement of restrictive covenants in contracts or employment and other agreements from drafting clauses, through the stages of dispute and litigation as far as the court of appeal

• Advising international oil exploration companies on dismissals of employees, and handling employment claims
• Advising international oil exploration companies on handling serious complaints by employees
• Advising a government owned company on restructuring its workforce, including terms of employment and overhauling internal policies and procedures
