Disciplinary and Grievance Proceedings
The majority of employment tribunal claims arise as a result of the employer failing to properly conduct disciplinary and grievance proceedings. We use our extensive experience to assist our clients in following proper procedures and making decisions which are reasonable and justifiable.
Redundancy/Restructure
We recognise that most businesses at some time will need to carry out restructure exercises and/or make redundancies. We can support you at each step of the process helping you to limit the risk of unrest within the workforce and prevent employment tribunal claims. We can also assist you in trying to find alternatives to redundancies, such as voluntary salary reductions, stopping overtime or re-training / redeployment.
Transfer of Undertakings
Whether arising from the purchase or sale of a business, or from a service provision change, the transfer of undertakings regulations (‘TUPE’) will impact on the transfer of employees. Our expertise enables us to provide our clients with up-to-date, legally correct and commercially aware advice on this key area.
Executive Terminations
Terminating the employment of senior executives, directors and managers can result in expensive litigation. The employment team is well-placed to provide tactical advice and to negotiate severance packages to enable the risks to be managed. Our tenacity in such negotiations is recognised by our clients as one of our greatest strengths.
Equal Opportunities
Whether you are looking for advice on dealing with allegations of discrimination, or wanting to promote an equal and bias-free workplace, our employment solicitors can help. We can advise you on equality monitoring, equal opportunities documentation and defending claims of discrimination, including harassment claims.
