Employment Law Solicitors

Employment Law is a vital area of the legal field for both employees and businesses that will always require guidance and representation for the constant stream of issues that occur in the workplace.

Specialists in this sphere represent and advise not only individual workers but also employers and organisations over a range of issues from unfair dismissal and redundancy to equal pay and working time agreements.

Health and safety is one area of this legal field that employers must pay meticulous care to. A specialist team of solicitors will provide the body of your risk management strategy along with carrying out risk assessments which will fully satisfy requirements of Employers’ Liability insurers.  

Employment Tribunals may come knocking with a case against your business and it is important to seek lawyers with vast experience in this field to help you avoid pitfalls which could prove costly. A solicitor will represent you when employees make claims for unfair, constructive or wrongful dismissal and will concisely steer you through the complicated process of forming a strong legal argument.

Lawyers are always on hand to keep you aware of legal changes which will affect contracts of employment and new regulations of employee rights including equal pay, minimum wage and flexible working time, which also take into account holiday entitlement, hours and breaks. It must also be observed that workers have rights for Trade Union involvement and must not face victimisation for this.

When redundancies are unavoidable due to business closure or a particular area of the workforce is no longer needed then it is imperative you have unrivalled direction into how to deal with payments, compromise agreements and avoiding breaches of contract.

Family matters affecting an employee’s capability need addressing and your solicitor will ensure the rights surrounding maternity, paternity and adoption are fully understood allowing sufficient paid leave and the return to work being upheld.

Discrimination is also another key area of employment law and it is vital that you find the right law firm to help you deal with the variety of claims made on the grounds of race, religion or belief, disabilities, sex and sexual orientation.

All these aspects within employment law can be difficult for many companies to navigate without expert counsel, especially due to endlessly evolving legislation, but solicitors are always ready to untangle this complicated field.
