You may need professional assistance in one or more of the following circumstances:

You have an employee who you wish to dismiss or take disciplinary proceedings against.
You may have an employee who has lodged a grievance against you or a member of staff.
You have an employee who has threatened Employment Tribunal proceedings against you or has brought Employment Tribunal proceedings against you.

Disciplining and Dismissing Employees
We provide the following services:

Professional advice on how to discipline or dismiss an employee safely and fairly with minimum risk.
Ongoing support and advice whilst you are in communication with your employee regarding the disciplinary process.

Grievance Procedures
We provide the following services:

Advice on how to deal with the grievance and your obligations under the law.
Formulation of a strategy to resolve to grievance amicably.
Advice on any potential claims that you may have and advice to minimise your risk of a claim.

Employment Tribunal Proceedings
It is worth noting that it may not cost thousands of pounds to defend Employment Tribunal proceedings. We provide a full Employment Tribunal defence service. We aim to meet your objectives and to procure a successful outcome for you. This may mean:

Procuring the withdrawal of a claim where a claim has no reasonable prospects of success.
Successfully defending proceedings at a Employment Tribunal final hearing.
Negotiating an amicable settlement.

In conducting your case, we will, of course, keep you informed of the developments of your case and contact you when necessary to take your instructions. We strive to balance your legal costs with your objectives.

Creating Contracts of Employments, a Staff Handbook and Procedures
For your peace of mind and to minimise unnecessary payments to your employees, we will create, to your requirements, a staff handbook, contacts of employment, disciplinary and dismissal procedures, grievance procedures and sickness procedures.
