We assist and support clients in terminating employment contracts which we understand can be a difficult and sensitive matter.
We can advise you on the most straightforward way of dismissing a particular employee taking into account any potential claim they might have.
We have a wealth of experience in settling claims and negotiating and advising on the use of compromise agreements, providing both parties with a clean break.
Where litigation is unavoidable we have a wide range of experience handling litigation in the Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal, the Court of Appeal and High Court, including claims for unfair dismissal, discrimination, equal pay, deduction of wages and breach of contract.
We can provide representation by experienced advocates in High Court breach of contract claims and on applications for injunctions to restrain breaches of post-termination obligations.
