Employment Law and HR

We specialise in helping businesses and individuals deal with all employment law and HR issues. If you are in business, your business is only as good as its people. We can guide you through the minefield of recruiting and managing your people, providing sensible and practical guidance, together with the key documentation you will need.

Red tape and risk..... You have a business to run. How can you keep up to date with the ever changing legislation and requirements? We will work with you to ensure that key changes are flagged up, so that you will know how they affect your business and what changes you should make...... But we won't swamp you with unnecessary and meaningless information.

Early intervention will stop issues escalating. We ask that you involve us at an early stage. This will allow us to see issues that are coming up. Early involvement will often give you more options. But sometimes things will still go wrong, and when this happens, you can count on us to give practical and realistic advice.

When it goes wrong, you can call on us to help. Even the most well managed businesses will face difficult issues and conflict. We will steer you through, and explain the options, and the pros and cons. But we will not simply offer you an endless list of potential actions, nor tell you that you "can't do that", or sit on the fence. Working with you we will come up with the best way forward.

We regularly advise on:

• Employment and HR documentation, for example contracts of employment, staff handbooks, service agreements and consultancy agreements
• Protecting your business, including confidentiality and restrictive covenants
• Advice on implementation of contracts and HR processes, including training for managers
• Managing sickness absence
