Your people are one of your greatest business assets, and you want to support them in the right way. You also want to protect your business, and avoid any unnecessary employee disputes.
We’re your behind-the-scenes legal support system, working alongside your HR team to help you walk that line and keep you on the right side of employment law. We’ll help you make sure employee-related decisions are legally compliant, commercially sound and in-line with your business goals.
Because we don’t do corporate nonsense, we can also help you knock the legal jargon out of employee contracts, handbooks and policies, and turn them into plain-speaking, accessible and even quirky documents that your people actually read.
Employee share schemes, bonus schemes and ownership models such as employee ownership trusts (EOTs) help you keep and attract the best people. Together we can explore your options, structure a new incentive or review the ones you already have in place.
We can also guide you through due diligence with your existing employee benefits if a company sale is on the cards.
Dealing with employee-related disagreements can feel tough but with us you’re in safe hands. We can help you handle disputes, disciplinaries and grievances, and if you do find yourself facing an employment tribunal, our skilled solicitors will guide you through the process and help you achieve the best outcome.
If you’re looking for support as an employee we offer fuss free, friendly advice on workplace issues and settlement agreements. We also specialise in negotiating senior level exits, working closely with our colleagues in the corporate team to help you transition smoothly and manage aspects such as your shareholder rights.
