Employment
We act for both employers and senior employees. Employment law is a rapidly growing area and we provide clients with a comprehensive and cost-effective service, tailored to their specific needs. We advise on all aspects of employment law, both contentious and non-contentious including giving initial advice, drafting documents, handling negotiations and providing Tribunal representation.
Our employment team is lead by Simon Shepherd and Alex Clements.
We have particular expertise in the following areas:
- Drawing up service contracts/terms and conditions of employment
- The enforcement of restrictive covenants
- Redundancy procedure and termination payments
- The drafting and operation of disciplinary, grievance, bullying and harassment, sickness absence management and equal opportunities policies and procedures
- Discrimination claims
- Recognition of Trade Union and collective negotiation
- TUPE transfers
- Representation at the Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal and County Court
Help is the new Human resources and Employment Law Protection Scheme by Schofield Sweeney Solicitors.
It is made up of individual elements that can be taken individually, or in any combination as a HR solution for your organisation. Those elements are:
- An insurance policy that pays the legal costs of an employment dispute, covers settlements and the costs of awards provided you have followed our advice, radically minimising your exposure to unexpected financial loss.
- Employment Law Advice helpline
- Employment Law Training
