OUR LEGAL SERVICES FOR EMPLOYERS

Based in Martlesham Heath near Ipswich, Suffolk, we can help you and your business on a broad range of projects, including:

COT3 agreements and settlement agreements

If an employment tribunal claim is made, it might be in your best interests to consider settling. We’ll help you draw up a Settlement Agreement for you and your employee, or a COT3 agreement if ACAS are involved in the negotiation.

Workplace discrimination claims

Discrimination claims have the potential to cause serious damage to your business, so it’s crucial to get sound advice from the start. Our team will help you understand the merits of the claim and advise on the most appropriate response to help you get the best possible outcome for your business.

Unfair dismissal claims

If an employee makes an unfair dismissal claim against your business, you must show that you went through a fair and reasonable dismissal process. We can advise you on the best course of action, whether that involves reinstating the employee, fighting the claim, or settling.

Other areas of employment law we can help with are:

• Business Transfers and the TUPE Regulations
• Enforcing Restrictive Covenants
• Grievance Meetings
• Investigation, Disciplinary and Dismissal Meetings
• Policies and Procedures in Your Workplace
• Poor Performance, Ill Health, Misconduct and Similar Problems
• Preparing Employment Contracts
• Restrictions in Employment Contracts
