Our dedicated employment law service is built around your business

Recruiting, managing and supporting employees are vital aspects of a thriving business, and even companies with an in-house HR service occasionally require specialist legal guidance.

We are proud to be one of the leading solicitor practices for business employment law in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and the south-east of England. Our dedicated service is tailored, resulting in exceptional relationships built on practicality and effectiveness.

Our dedicated employment solicitors cater to a diverse range of clients, from SMEs to large corporates spanning sectors such as engineering, construction, retail, marketing, education, hospitality, recruitment and charities. We also represent senior-level employees seeking to protect and optimise their personal interests and earning potential.

The day-to-day support we provide to your HR and senior managers is extremely comprehensive, covering the full range of common tasks such as reviewing contracts of employment and terms & conditions, advising on disciplinary & grievance matters, providing representation and support for employment tribunal claims.

We also provide strategic advice on restructuring and redundancy, ensuring your business follows proper procedures and avoids unnecessary errors. Additionally, we offer corporate support for the employment aspects of business sales and acquisitions, including advice on TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006) and outsourcing.

Our focus is to avoid disputes through proactive problem prevention, and we work hard to build trusted relationships within your organisation to gain the necessary insight to deliver the most effective solutions.

Given the ever-changing employment landscape, making sure your teams stay informed of the latest developments is crucial. We offer on-site formal training for HR advisers and people managers to enhance their skills and knowledge.

In addition, we provide free expert resources on complex employee or workplace issues. You can sign up for our regular newsletters and updates, occasional short learning webinars or in-person seminars.
