Employment law

You may operate a full internal human resources team or perhaps it's just you who has to do it all. We recognise that employers wish to adopt their own approach to managing their workforce and will provide you with carefully considered commercial advice tailored to your needs.

Regardless of your structure and approach, employment law is a fast changing area and it is vital that you stay abreast of developments and ensure you have appropriate procedures in place.

Our employment lawyers provide proactive, practical legal assistance to employers across Kent on a wide range of issues from staff handbooks to advice on corporate restructuring. If matters are contentious we can assist you in a full range of claims.

We regularly advise clients on:

• Employment contracts - consultancy agreements, service agreements, terms and conditions of employment
• Disciplinary action and grievance procedures
• Settlement agreements (formerly known as compromise agreements)
• Restrictive covenants and confidentiality clauses
• Dismissal of staff
• Unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and constructive dismissal claims
• Discrimination claims
• Employment Tribunal proceedings
• Redundancy
• Employment handbooks, policies and procedures
• Transfer regulations upon company acquisitions (TUPE)
• Minimum wage
