Are you facing a claim from an employee or job applicant? Are you sure that your organisation is fully compliant with all Employment legislation?
 
Did you know that compensation awards in most cases of unfair dismissal can be up to £76,700 and that there is no maximum award for cases of discrimination and some cases of unfair dismissal?

Office

Employing staff can be an expensive legal minefield. Employment legislation is increasingly demanding, employees are increasingly aware of their rights and tribunal awards and settlements are rising.
 
Our team of specialist Employment lawyers, led by Audrey Onwukwe, will help you to fulfil your obligations as an employer and avoid expensive and reputation damaging claims by employees. We have almost a decade of experience of successfully assisting a wide range of organisations, from national charities to large commercial organisations, and small businesses such as law firms, accountancy practices, restaurants and shops. We recognise that every client is different and take the time to ensure we understand the way your organisation operates and what its priorities are.
 
With tribunal awards and settlements continuing to rise, more demanding legislation and employees increasingly aware of their rights, we can help you get it right each time by:
 
  • Defending you in any employment related claim, including unfair dismissal; constructive dismissal; discrimination on grounds of sex, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief, disability or age; breach of contract. We will handle the case from start to finish, representing you at the tribunal or instructing a barrister to do so.
  • Providing a comprehensive, no obligation employment law 'healthcheck'
  • Providing a complete employment law service, tailored to your needs - either on an 'ad hoc' or retained basis
  • Advising on current and upcoming employment legislation
  • Drafting and advising on compromise agreements
  • Providing in-house training on a range of issues, tailored to your organisation's needs
