We regularly help employees to resolve difficult workplace situations in a sensitive manner.
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide robust, pragmatic and sensible advice that is focused on achieving the outcome that you want. We regularly advise senior executives working in the private and public sectors, including medical, academic and civil service employees, on all employment related matters, including those listed below.
- Executive severance – we regularly negotiate terms of severance for senior executives who are leaving their employment, including share options, LTIPS, bonuses and equity
- Discrimination, bullying and harassment – if you feel you have suffered discrimination in the workplace or are a victim of bullying, we can help you bring these issues to the attention of your employer, with a view to finding an appropriate resolution
- Settlement agreements – we can assist you to negotiate and conclude a settlement agreement to leave your employment amicably and in a way that best protects your reputation, your immediate financial security and future employment prospects
- Dismissal proceedings (including constructive unfair dismissal) – if you believe you may be at risk of dismissal or have already been dismissed, we can help you to understand the processes being applied to you by your employer and to challenge the fairness of those processes where appropriate
- Restrictive covenants – we regularly advise on the scope of post termination restrictions in contracts of employment and, where necessary, can help you challenge enforcement action by your employer
- Family friendly rights – a healthy balance between work and family life is recognised and supported by current legislation. Whether you have a concern about your rights to part time working or what to expect on return from maternity leave, we can help you get the full picture and challenge any unfair practices
- Employment contracts – the contract of employment is a key document and governs what is expected of both you and the company throughout your employment relationship. We provide advice on wording and interpretation of the contract, to make sure that you are getting the best out of that relationship
- Whistleblowing – we can provide advice on how best to bring any wrongdoing within an organisation to attention of the appropriate person or body, while retaining the protection of the law. If you have already raised a concern and been penalised for that disclosure, we can help you to challenge your employer
- Employment tribunal claims – where the employment relationship breaks down and you want to bring a claim against your employer, we can guide you through the employment tribunal process. We can also make sure you are effectively represented and fully support your claim in a cost-effective way.
