We advise on all aspects of non contentious work, including:

Recruitment policies
Fair and unfair dismissal
All forms of discrimination on the grounds of disability, race, sex, age, sexual orientation and religion
Discrimination, including bullying and harassment claims
TUPE
Tax and pension schemes
Redundancy
Injunctive relief
Whistle blowing

We undertake and advise on internal disciplinary inquiries and proceedings and also appear in UK Employment Tribunals, the Employment Appeal Tribunal and the County and High Courts if necessary.

Five members of the team are panel counsel for the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

Mediation

Barristers also act as mediators in employment law disputes and have the skills to find a suitable solution for both parties in an acrimonious matter wherever possible. Read more.

Public Access

Some members of the team are also available to act, where appropriate, for members of the public, as well as commercial and non-commercial organisations, under the Public Access scheme. Read more.
