Employment Law

Most of our clients are either employers or employees and we have honed our skills from working with them over many years practically and effectively.

The relationship of employer and employee is one that most of us are involved in at some stage, but often the nuts and bolts of the relationship can be neglected until there is a problem.  We work with our clients, whether employers or employees, to avoid this.  We provide clear and practical advice on employment contracts.

If you are an employer, we can advise you on the right structures you need to have in place to manage your business and to help prevent problems from arising.  If a human resources or employment problem does arise, we will work with you in the process from the start to try to work problems out and to ensure that the possibility of disruption to your business in minimized.

If you are an employee we can help you to negotiate to ensure that your deal with your employers is fair, reflects what you agreed and protects your interests.  If you encounter a problem at work we can advise you on your entitlements and help you to ensure that you are treated fairly at all times.

If you have been dismissed or made redundant, we can advise you on whether the dismissal was fair or whether the redundancy was handled correctly and we can represent you to achieve the best possible outcome in the circumstances.  If you have experienced bullying or harassment in the workplace: we know how to help you.
