Common Questions About Employment Law

What type of employment law do you advise employers on?

We advise on various employment law matters, including:

• Unfair Dismissal and Constructive Dismissal claims
• Discrimination
• Employment Contracts and Directors’ Service Agreements
• Settlement Agreements
• TUPE
• Disciplinary action
• Redundancy

How can I protect myself against discrimination claims?

Discrimination claims are increasingly common, and navigating them can be complex. Our Employment Solicitors will provide comprehensive advice on decisions that may involve protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010, ensuring you are protected from potential claims and their associated reputational and financial damage.

Is rightsizing the same as making people redundant?

No, rightsizing involves assessing if your business has the right number of employees with the necessary skills to meet strategic goals. It can include making redundancies, hiring new talent, adding management layers, or creating specialist departments. Rightsizing is a continuous process.

Can you help me protect my business’s reputation if an employment dispute develops?

Yes, we offer advice on settling claims confidentially through Settlement Agreements or Alternative Dispute Resolution methods such as negotiation and mediation. We can also manage media inquiries and work with PR firms to protect your organisation’s reputation.
