Employment advisory

Immediate access to considered, pragmatic and jargon-free employment law advice from lawyers who know you and your business.

Every business needs employment advice from time to time.

If you are looking for proactive support for your organisation we would be delighted to help. Our experience in advising a wide range of clients across a range of sectors throughout the UK means we are likely to have worked for organisations similar to your own.

Bringing this experience to bear allows us to offer on-point advice with an emphasis on resolving problems quickly and cost-effectively. Whether you need guidance on handling a sensitive C-suite exit, a business restructure or have a tricky absence management or grievance issue, our approach is always to offer pragmatic solutions that will work on the ground.

This means you can expect clear, jargon-free advice written with the business in mind. Complex projects will be mapped out, stage by stage and our drafting will be straightforward and accessible.

If you choose to work with us, we will put together a team of lawyers to deliver all of your advice – from answering a quick one-off query to defending an employment tribunal claim.

This team will be handpicked for their knowledge of your sector. They will understand your sector, and any regulatory requirements or sector-specific legislation or frameworks which might apply.

Your team will get to know how you like to work, your organisation’s values and appetite for risk. This allows them to tailor advice accordingly so you can be confident that our support will align with your requirements.

Our heavy-weight and user-friendly team can cover all your employment advisory requirements. From negotiating complex exits to ensuring compliance with workplace policies, we provide comprehensive support and guidance.
