Contracts, Policies and Procedures
Our employment lawyers can help you with drafting of all employment law contracts and related documentation, full reviews of policies and procedures, including targeted internal training to minimise risk of litigation and ensure legal compliance. We also assist with all issues relating to IR35 legislation and the use of outside contractors.
Our focus is you
Our employment solicitors prepare employment documents for clients and regularly undertake comprehensive reviews of the full range of employment contracts, policies, procedures and bonus schemes on behalf of our clients. Our aim is to ensure that your employment procedures are fully up to date and compliant with legislation, ensuring that your exposure to risk is effectively managed at all times.
In addition, our lawyers work with clients to ensure that new policies and procedures are implemented effectively. As part of our service we provide training and advice to managers to give them the know-how and confidence to apply the revised processes and procedures. We can target training so as to maximise outcomes and help to encourage change within your organisation.
We have offices in London and across the South East including Gatwick and Crawley, Hassocks, Horsham, Brighton and Guildford.
Please note that visits to our office is by appointment only. If you wish to contact one of our employment lawyers you can do via our online enquiry form.
