Employment Law

Employment is a very complex area of law. Our strength lies in the level of specialist expertise available. The Partner overseeing the work of the department is Ian Soulsby who has also for many years sat part time as an Employment Judge.
We offer a very user friendly and hands on approach and tailor the service to the requirements of the employer. Areas where we can assist include:
Services can be provided on a fixed fee or hourly paying basis. Just phone our team to discuss.
In the current economic climate no one is guaranteed job security. Problems at work or losing your job can be incredibly stressful for you and your family. We are here to help when needed, for example;
We offer a free 30 minute interview or telephone conversation to ascertain your details, advise you on how we can help, discuss your options in terms of the next steps and funding issues. Depending on the circumstances we undertake cases where you pay on an hourly basis or pay a fixed fee. We also consider taking cases on a contingency fee basis where you pay us nothing if you lose but if you win we charge a percentage of your compensation.
We believe our services are honest, professional, good value for money and reflect our high level of expertise.
