EMPLOYMENT LAW
AS SOLICITORS IN
HAMPSHIRE WE ADVISE AND ACT FOR BOTH EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES.
Having experience on both sides enables
us to be sensitive to all aspects of this fast changing area
of the law.
We serve
clients mainly in the HAMPSHIRE and SURREY
areas.
Employment Law is technical and a
failure to follow the correct procedures can be prejudicial
and costly. It is therefore important to seek expert advice at an
early stage.
Our service covers most aspects of Employment
Law: starting from where there is a dispute between Employee
and Employer at the initial stages of the Disciplinary or
Grievance process to all steps taken on to an Employment
Tribunal or in negotiating a settlement via a Compromise
Agreement.
On the non-contentious side we
advise Employers on changes in legislation, preparation of
Employment Contracts, Staff Handbooks and drafting
Compromise Agreements.
Concessionary Fixed Fees
Not infrequently enquiries are received
from prospective claimants to find out whether or not they
may have a good case to pursue. In some instances (this is
discretionary) we operate a concessionary ½ hour fixed
fee arrangement which clients on a limited budget have
found to be helpful.
Free Initial Discussion
For claimant employees the first
10 minutes of an initial appointment is free.
