We act for many local employers. It is vitally important these days to ensure that your employment law records are in order. There is an ever greater onus on the employer to show reasonableness at all stages of the employment process – from advertising for staff to interviews, maintaining disciplinary records and, in the event of disputes, to ensuring that the steps taken to dismiss an employee are followed to the letter. The same applies to managing redundancies.

Our employment expert is Ian Pearson. Ian has worked for two of the country’s biggest law firms in London. He is a genuine specialist in employment law and offers fantastic practical and common sense legal advice. We are very lucky to have Ian’s services and to be able to offer these to our clients. Ian is happy to offer an “employment law audit”. This involves him spending time at your place of work (which depends on the size of the organisiation), checking your standard documents in relation to disciplinary issues, contracts of employment, and so forth. This is charged at a very reasonable fixed fee, which Ian will be pleased to discuss with you.

In the event of your being notified of a claim by an employee Ian will then be happy to deal with this and guide you through all aspects of the tribunal process.
