Employment law is ever changing. Employment rights become both increasingly voluminous and complex year on year. The risk of failing to comply with current regulations is a serious problem for all employers and the costs may be crippling.

Unfair dismissal claims can generate compensation claims of up to £58,400 on top of the statutory redundancy package. For claims of discrimination there is no limit and this does not include any legal costs of defending a claim, time, cost and the inconvenience of dealing with the claim and disruption of business.

We can guide you through this potential minefield, by providing advice to assist in dealing with disputes at work or to inform you of forthcoming changes to the law. We can advise you on all areas from drafting written contracts of employment through to severance packages, compromise agreements and if all else fails representation at an Employment Tribunal.

At Smithson Law Firm we operate transparently. Before doing any work for you, we give a clear estimate of our charges.

We provide:

• Day-to-day advice from a qualified solicitor, when you need it
• All the appropriate documents you might need from a contract of employment through to a Compromise Agreement
• Policy documents
• Representation at Employment Tribunals or at court
• Directors service agreements
• Protection against unfair competition by former employees

Fully informed is fully armed. At your request we can provide policy document lectures and training keeping you fully aware of all the latest developments.
