Almost every employment claim we defend traces back to the same three things: a contract that was never issued, a process that was never documented, or a decision taken quickly because it felt obvious at the time.
None of those are legal problems at the moment they happen. They become legal problems eighteen months later, when the file is examined by someone looking for a gap.
The bulk of our employment work is preventative: getting the written statement of particulars right on day one, building a handbook that reflects how the business actually runs, and being available for the ten-minute call before a difficult conversation rather than after it.
When a matter does escalate, we handle Acas early conciliation, settlement negotiation and tribunal defence — with the advantage of already knowing the business and holding the file.
Contracts drafted for English law — notice, holiday, probation, confidentiality and covenants that actually hold.
Handbooks, disciplinary and grievance procedures, and the records that evidence a fair process.
Acas early conciliation handled properly, in the window where most claims can still be closed quietly.
ET3 response, witness statements, bundle preparation and representation through to hearing.
The call before the difficult conversation. Same working day, included in your retainer.
Narrow, enforceable clauses that protect real business interests rather than aspirational ones.
