We
offer considerable experience in employment law. We deal with
both employer and employee matters from everyday workplace advise,
drafting documents, through to full representation and advocacy at
employment tribunals.
We have a good record of success in employment
litigation for employees and were very pleased when one of our
partners Richard Brearley acted in a case to obtain an assessment
of damages from an employment tribunal of over £240,000 for one of
our clients in a disability discrimination case dealing with
chronic fatigue syndrome.
We also have a good
record for employer's cases and have successfully defended many
claims against our employer clients, from small high street
businesses to large television studios. We prefer to focus our
clients on prevention and work closely with them and their human
resources departments to achieve this.
We also offer NO WIN NO
FEE arrangements in suitable employment law cases and we would be
happy to give you an initial assessment of your case.
We are also able to offer training to employers and
their managers in most aspects of an employer's obligations, both
in respect of understanding the rights of employees and in dealing
properly with colleagues in the workplace on a day to day basis.
We have dealt with many claims where the circumstances upon which
the claim is based have arisen directly as a result of the poor
understanding by managers of their obligations, despite some
training, and where the employers are liable for those actions.
Often it is the failure to keep training and documentation up to
date or to rely on employees reading, understanding, and
implementing documentation that leads to claims. We can help to
ensure this does not happen and please contact us if you wish to
discuss your training requirements.
