Employment

We have a highly accomplished and successful employment section. The section comprises approximately ten barristers who specialise in employment law, and range in experience from over 20 years' call (including silks) to 3 years' call. Members of the employment team appear regularly in employment tribunals throughout the country and in the Employment Appeal Tribunal. We also appear in the higher courts.

The service we provide is a varied one. We cover all areas of employment law - including contracts, dismissals, redundancies, TUPE transfers, discrimination and equal pay, maternity rights, parental rights, part-time workers, working time regulations, minimum wages, health and safety, public interest disclosures, data protection, EC law and human rights.

We provide advice on all matters relating to your employment, representation at the employment tribunals and at the EAT, draft policies, procedures and employee handbooks, provide training, and provide information and guidance on new legislation. We act for trade unions, statutory bodies such as the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), insurers, and private employers and employees.
