Common Questions about Employment Law
What type of employment law do you advise employers on?
We advise on a wide range of employment law matters, including:
- Unfair Dismissal and Constructive Dismissal claims
- Discrimination
- Employment Contracts and Directors’ Service Agreements
- Settlement Agreements
- TUPE
- Disciplinary action
- Redundancy
How can I protect myself against discrimination claims?
Discrimination claims are becoming increasingly common. Employers must navigate the complexities of what constitutes express or implied discrimination. Our Employment Solicitors take this burden off your shoulders. We will advise you on every decision that may involve a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. You can trust that our advice will provide you with the information needed to protect against discrimination claims and the potential reputational and financial damage that can result from appearing before the Employment Tribunal.
Is rightsizing the same as making people redundant?
‘Rightsizing’ is not just a softer term for ‘downsizing’. Downsizing involves reducing the number of employees to increase profitability or ensure the company’s solvency. Rightsizing, however, is a process to determine if your business has the right number of employees with the necessary skills and experience to meet strategic goals. It can involve making redundancies but also hiring new talent, adding a management layer, or creating a specialist department. Rightsizing is a continuous process, unlike downsizing, which is often a one-time activity.
Can you help me protect my business’s reputation if an employment dispute develops?
Reputation management is a crucial element of handling an employment dispute. We can advise on ways to settle claims confidentially, such as offering Settlement Agreements or using Alternative Dispute Resolution methods like negotiation and mediation instead of going to the Employment Tribunal, which involves public proceedings. Our team can also handle media inquiries and work with a PR firm to protect your organisation’s reputation.
