Employment Law Advice

Having an employment lawyer for your business is a valuable company asset. Whether you're refining contracts with employees, suppliers, or stakeholders, recovering commercial debts, or settling disputes among shareholders or directors, having a skilled business employment legal team is essential.

When do you need employment law advice as an employer?

You will likely need employment law advice as an employer if you're starting a new business or dealing with issues as an established employer. 

Employment law experts help create important and legally binding documents like employment contracts and handbooks that cover company policies. You will also find legal advice helpful when making redundancies or recruiting fairly and legally. In addition, it’s a good idea to get legal guidance when going through disciplinary or grievance processes or when making dismissal decisions. Seeking professional support helps to avoid unnecessary disputes or issues.

Employers may also need employment law advice to help comply with general employment and health and safety rules. Keeping up with changing laws can be tough for a busy business owner. That's why having a reliable lawyer to check, advise, and guide you is key for your company to run smoothly and successfully.
