Employment Law
Employers and employees

Keeping up to date with the latest directives and legislation can be a struggle for even the largest employers. Employment legislation is becoming an increasingly complex area of law and whether employer or employee, you will need an expert hand to guide you through the complexities of current legislation.

Our expert employment team regularly advises both employers and employees on the latest legislation and their respective rights and obligations. We also regularly act for anyone who has been penalised through unfair practices at work, or who needs guidance on all areas of individual employment law. Areas we are expert in include:

  • bullying and harassment
  • breach of contract
  • compromise agreements
  • discrimination/disability/sex/sexual orientation/religion/race/age
  • equal pay/minimum wage
  • maternity, paternity and parental rights
  • redundancy
  • transfer of undertakings (TUPE)
  • unfair dismissal/wrongful dismissal/whistleblowing
  • working time regulations

  • Employment law operates to strict deadlines and in most cases, an employee only has three months from the effective date of dismissal in which to bring a claim. If you are an employee it is important you contact us as quickly as possible if you have concerns about your rights at work. We can also offer advice on funding your claim and what is available to you given your circumstances.
