Request A CallbackWhat should I do if an employee raises a grievance?
Act quickly and fairly. Our employment law solicitors for employers can guide you through the statutory grievance procedures, help investigate the allegations properly, and ensure your response protects both the employee’s rights and your business interests. Early legal advice often prevents grievances escalating to tribunal claims.
How much does employment law advice for employers cost?
We offer transparent fixed-fee initial consultations, depending on case complexity. This provides you with expert assessment, initial strategy, and clear cost projections for ongoing work. Most employment disputes we handle settle without formal litigation, keeping overall costs proportionate.
When should I consider offering a settlement agreement?
Settlement agreements can be valuable tools for managing employment disputes, restructuring, or parting company with employees amicably. Our solicitors for employers help you identify when settlement negotiations make commercial sense and structure agreements that provide maximum protection.
What's the difference between dismissing for misconduct versus capability?
The legal requirements and procedures differ significantly. Misconduct dismissals focus on deliberate wrongdoing, while capability issues relate to an employee’s ability to perform their role. Our disciplinary procedure guidance explains the key considerations, or contact our team for case-specific advice.
How can I ensure my employment contracts are legally compliant?
Employment law changes frequently, and non-compliant contracts can be costly. Our employment law solicitors for companies provide regular contract reviews, ensuring your agreements reflect current legislation while protecting your business interests. We also offer employment law training to keep your HR team updated.
What should I know about hiring international employees?
Right to work checks are essential, and the rules are complex. Our immigration and employment specialists guide you through visa requirements, compliance procedures, and ongoing obligations. Poor compliance can result in significant penalties and reputational damage.
How do I handle workplace investigations properly?
Effective workplace investigations require careful planning, impartial conduct, and thorough documentation. Our experienced solicitors for employers can conduct independent investigations or guide your internal team through the process, ensuring legal compliance and protecting all parties involved.
What are my obligations during TUPE transfers?
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations create complex obligations for both transferring and receiving employers. Our corporate and employment teams work together to ensure smooth transitions, whether you’re acquiring staff or transferring employees to new owners.
