 In recent years there have been significant changes in UK employment law and the relationship between employers and employees.
These changes are ongoing and this trend looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. Most of these changes have been instigated by developments in EU employment law.
Our aim is to enable our clients to deal with their increasingly complex human resources issues efficiently and effectively. At Goodman Derrick LLP this goal is achieved by our team of specialist employment lawyers who take pride in their expertise.
We advise on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law:
- advice to both employees and employers on all aspects of employment contracts, including negotiating and drafting service agreements for senior executives and preparing standard employment contracts for other employees;
- redundancy issues, selection processes and consultation procedures;
- advice and representation in claims for unfair, wrongful and constructive dismissal;
- drafting and advising on internal disciplinary and grievance procedures;
- drafting and enforcing post-termination restrictions and confidentiality obligations;
- employment law aspects of transfers of undertakings, including assisting employers in due diligence exercises;
- all aspects of termination of employment from junior employees to senior executives, including assisting in negotiations and the drafting of severance and compromise agreements;
- advice and representation in sex, race, disability and age discrimination claims. We have wide experience in advising on the drafting and implementation of equal opportunity and anti-discrimination policies;
- assistance to employers in negotiating the complexity of maternity and other family issues;
- industrial action and trade union issues.
A substantial part of our employment law practice is derived from clients’ recommendations. We believe this speaks volumes about our performance and the level of client satisfaction.
