We have helped many local businesses, either in resisting claims made by former employees or in vetting proposed employment contracts. From time to time we also advise employees, although the absence of Legal Aid for such advice means that we are usually acting for the employer.

Increasingly, we also give advise to people who are offered redundancy terms, which need to be vetted before a commitment is entered into.

Employment advice also forms an important part of any business sale. Whether you are buying or selling a business, you need to understand the consequences of the sale, as it affects you and the employees. The impact of the "Transfer of Undertakings" rules may need very careful consideration.
