Employment: services for individuals

INTRODUCTION

We advise directors and senior executives on all aspects of their employment relationship from negotiating terms to providing pragmatic legal advice when the employment relationship encounters problems.

We all invest significant time and emotion into working life, but difficulties may arise as a result of a restructure, a change in responsibilities, discrimination, bullying and harassment, disciplinaries or grievances. We understand that a breakdown in the employment relationship or problems at work can be highly stressful. We help to find amicable resolutions to workplace problems, taking into account each individual’s reputational and financial considerations, including advising on ‘protected conversations’ and exit negotiations.

If it is not possible to resolve matters, we also have an excellent reputation in acting for individuals in Employment Tribunal and High Court litigation.
