Services in employment

We provide a wide range of services to both employees and employers in helping to address legal issues and ensure laws are met. Employment law is very broad, meaning it covers a variety of cases, offering a range of services to suit your legal needs. Here are a few types of cases that our employment experts cover.

Settlement agreements

Whether you are looking at drafting a settlement agreement or facilitating a settlement agreement, we can offer our expert advice.

Restrictive covenants

It is not always safe to sign – or break – a contract containing restrictive covenants, so if you are unsure, we can help.

Breach of contract

When an employment contract is broken, it can cause problems to both parties, which is why we are here to offer our expertise.

Harrassment

If you are being bullied or harassed – whether subtly or openly – the law is on your side.

Redundancy

If you are at risk of redundancy or have been made redundant, there are employment laws to ensure you are treated fairly.

Discrimination in the workplace

Discrimination can cover age, race, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, and disability. If you have faced any workplace discrimination, we can help.

Constructive and unfair dismissal

This occurs when your employer has treated you so badly that you've no choice but to resign or that you have been dismissed with unfair reasoning.
