Employment law impacts upon, and can influence, every area of the employment relationship, from recruitment to retirement. It causes the biggest headache for businesses because it’s a ‘grey’ area and constantly changing and developing. It could affect how you want deal with your employment issues so it’s important you have the most up to date and correct information available to make the right decisions.
Employers can be held accountable for over 70 basic types of complaints and the number of tribunal applications have risen year on year by 40% from 105,177 in 2006-7 to 151,249 in 2007-8; unfair dismissal claims have increased and are on track to overtake equal pay claims as the most frequently lodged claim.
We keep abreast of the latest legal developments (EU regulations, case law etc) to ensure you have the most update to date information. Furthermore, any advice will be given with your specific organisation in mind, regardless of the business sector you’re in.
Our approach is to give you the most suitable and legally correct advice preferably before you take action since prevention is better than cure in most cases. However, should things have gone wrong with the employment relationship we can take a damage limitation approach and work with you to find an appropriate solution to resolve the situation satisfactorily.
We have also established strong links with local employment solicitors so if an issue unfortunately does go to litigation, we can recommend suitable contacts.
