Settlement Agreements
Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts used to end an employment relationship on agreed terms. They often follow a protected conversation and set out the conditions of termination.
We assist employers by drafting clear and compliant settlement agreements that safeguard your business interests. Our team also provides guidance on conducting protected conversations with employees in a professional and legally sound manner. By working with us, you can ensure the process is handled correctly, reducing the risk of future claims.

Disciplinary & Performance Management
Managing disciplinary issues and performance concerns requires a fair and thorough process. Failure to follow the correct procedure can expose your business to claims such as unfair dismissal or breach of contract.
Our solicitors provide hands-on support, from drafting policies and procedures to guiding you through individual cases. We can review your existing processes, advise on best practice, and even assist with correspondence and documentation to ensure compliance with the ACAS Code of Practice.
Redundancy & Business Restructuring
Restructuring or reducing staff numbers is never easy, but following a fair process is essential to avoid legal challenges. We advise employers on every stage of redundancy, including consultation requirements, fair selection criteria, and consideration of alternative roles.
If your business is undergoing a wider restructuring, we can help manage changes to roles, terms and conditions, and overall structure, ensuring that all employment law obligations are met.
Grievance Handling
Receiving a grievance from an employee can be challenging. A clear and compliant procedure helps you address issues promptly and fairly, reducing the risk of escalation.
We guide employers through the grievance process, ensuring adherence to the ACAS Code of Practice and helping you maintain positive employee relations.
Discrimination
Employers have a legal duty to prevent discrimination in the workplace. We provide advice on avoiding discriminatory practices and responding to complaints involving protected characteristics such as age, disability, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. Our goal is to help you create a fair and inclusive workplace while minimizing legal risk.
TUPE Transfers
If your business is involved in a transfer or service provision change, TUPE regulations impose specific obligations. We help employers understand and comply with these requirements, including providing Employee Liability Information, informing and consulting staff, and managing contractual and pension implications.
Our advice ensures a smooth transition while protecting your business from potential claims.
Whistleblowing
Handling whistleblowing disclosures correctly is vital to avoid costly claims for detriment or dismissal. We advise employers on best practice for managing complaints, ensuring compliance with the law and protecting your reputation.
Internal Workplace Investigations
For complex grievance or disciplinary matters, an independent investigation can provide clarity and fairness. We conduct sensitive internal investigations on behalf of employers, offering impartiality and expertise when situations require external support.
Expert Representation
Our team handles advocacy in Employment Tribunals and higher courts, providing continuity and reassurance throughout your case. We also represent professionals in regulatory proceedings, ensuring your business receives the highest level of legal support.
