We recognise that all practices and organisations adopt a slightly different approach to employee management. There may be a full internal human resources team or only one partner taking responsibility for employment issues. Whatever the circumstances, most practices will inevitably need to seek professional employment advice from time to time.
Employment law is a potential minefield for the inexperienced and uninitiated. It is one area of law that is constantly evolving, partly because of changes in European Community Law. As employees become more aware of their rights and become increasingly prepared to seek legal redress, it is vital that employers stay abreast of developments.
As with so many areas of law, properly drafted policies, procedures and contracts will go a long way to helping to avoid disputes and litigation. Specialist advice at the right time will save money in the longer term.
Our Team provides practical advice on all employment law issues. Our detailed understanding of the professions means that we can give advice that is tailored to the specific needs of our clients, in the following areas:
