How our employment law solicitors in Reading can help

Employment tribunals and dispute resolution

Dealing with an employment law issue proactively and resolving disputes before the need for an Employment Tribunal claim is often the most beneficial approach.

However, there may be occasions where this is not possible, which is where our team can provide sound commercial and advice and representation, helping you to understand your position and options for resolving the dispute.

Our employment law solicitors represent clients at Employment Tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal, defending claims including:

Unfair dismissal;
Breach of contract
Discrimination
Breach of the requirement to collectively consult
Equal pay
Redundancy pay
Bonuses

TUPE

The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, commonly known as TUPE, protects employees when they transfer to a new employer.

Our employment law solicitors are experienced in helping employers navigate through TUPE and its requirements. With our support, you can be sure that you will remain fully compliant and reduce the potential impact of TUPE on your business.

Employment contracts and policies

Employment contracts not only govern the relationship between an employer and their employee, but they are also vital tools which can be the first port of call where any dispute arises.

Our employment lawyers in Reading can work with you to review your employment contracts, policies and procedures, supporting you to protect your business, as well as allowing it to develop and grow in the short and long-term.

Redundancy advice

It is an unfortunate reality that, from time to time, a business will need to consider making redundancies. This may be due to a restructure, the job role no longer being necessary or a general need to cut costs. Whatever the reason, it is clear that such a decision cannot be taken lightly, which means legal advice is essential.

Our employment law solicitors can work with your business to ensure that redundancies are handled correctly, reducing the potential for any legal repercussions that could affect your business. We advise businesses at the early stage of redundancy decision making to ensure that you understand all of the options available to you.

Mergers and acquisitions

Business mergers and acquisitions will typically include an element of employment law, with the ultimate success of a deal often depending on the presence of any workforce issues. This is where our employment law expertise can be crucially important.

Our employment law solicitors in Reading can work with you to help you understand your associated rights and responsibilities during mergers and acquisitions. In these cases, we also work closely with our corporate and commercial team to ensure that all of your objectives are met.

Settlement discussion and agreements

Navigating the exit of an employee via settlement discussions is a very difficult prospect and comes with plenty of potential pitfalls. While it is often in both parties’ interests to discuss an exit package before heading down the formal route, these discussions still need to be handled incredibly carefully.

We can assist with advising on the potential risks of commencing settlement discussions in certain scenarios, guide you through the best approach to discussions, as well as advise on the appropriate level of financial settlement to offer in any given case.

International legal management services

We provide a legal management service for our international clients, using accredited and quality checked lawyers in the jurisdiction in which you are operating. This means that you will not have to negotiate with lawyers in multiple jurisdictions, preventing any miscommunications.
