Employment Law Disputes and Alternative Dispute Resolution

When something goes wrong in the employment relationship, it can cause significant anxiety and stress for both parties. These issues must be dealt with quickly and effectively to protect the relationship if achievable or reach the most positive alternative outcome.

We endeavour to successfully resolve our client’s disputes in the most cost-effective and least disruptive way possible. In many cases, this means using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration. ADR can provide an effective solution to even the most complex disputes and allows you to escape the expense and stress of court proceedings.

However, in some situations, court action will be necessary. We will take a robust approach to your representation, where this is the case. 

Employment Law Advice for Employers

One of the best ways to avoid issues occurring in the workplace is to ensure your policies and procedures are in good shape. Our Employment Lawyers can work in collaboration with your HR personnel to create a suite of internal documentation that complies with current employment legislation and meets the needs of your business. We can also review your existing employee handbook, policies and procedures, and advise on any areas for improvement.

If an issue does occur in your workplace, we will be here to protect you and your business. We understand that in many cases, confidentiality is paramount. We provide a respectful and practical service, aiming to achieve your objectives with minimal impact on your resources.

Employment Law Advice for Employees

Workplace difficulties can be stressful and leave you feeling confused about the best approach to take. Advice and support from a specialist Employment Solicitor will ensure your employment rights are protected and provide a sound solution to your issues. Whether your situation involves maternity or paternity pay or leave, recruitment, redundancy, dismissal, whistleblowing or any other matter, our team will gain a full understanding of your circumstances and help you to negotiate a fair settlement with your employer.

Accidents at work

If you have been injured at work, our team can help. We also specialise in Personal Injury and have extensive experience advising clients who have been involved in workplace accidents. We can prepare a strong compensation claim* on your behalf and ensure your employment rights are protected throughout the process.
