We are experienced in preparing all documentation defining the employer/ employee relationship, including:

  • contracts of employment/service agreements

We can advise on the implications of transfers of undertakings when acquiring or selling businesses or substantial assets.

We also handle any disputes which may arise, whether these are statutory claims against the employer for unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination or otherwise or claims pursuant to contract. We can deal with negotiations and draft compromise agreements or act on your behalf in employment tribunal or court proceedings.
