Employment Solicitors for Business

Your employees can be your greatest asset, but also your biggest liability.

Employment law is fast moving and ever-changing. Keeping up to date with developments in the law can prove difficult and time-consuming for businesses and the consequences of "getting it wrong" can be very expensive.

At Forbes, we focus on dealing with our business clients' employment issues in a clear, straightforward manner. We aim to resolve any employment-related issues as and when they arise, in the most practical, cost-effective and favourable manner possible.

Our specialist employment solicitors can provide you with advice and assistance in relation to all aspects of employment law, including:

Employment Tribunal advocacy
Discrimination and the Equality Act 2010 - age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation
Equal pay
Disciplinary and grievance procedures
Dismissals
Redundancies, lay-off and short-time working
Compromise agreements and termination packages
Drafting contracts of employment, policies and procedures
Restrictive covenants, confidentiality and garden leave
Drafting directors' service agreements, consultancy agreements and other terms and conditions
TUPE - employment issues arising from business acquisitions and disposals

In addition to the above, we deliver in-house training sessions; host regular employment seminars and legal updates; provide quarterly news bulletins; and publish articles relating to changes in the law. Our objective is to keep our clients informed and up-to-date with legal developments, in order that they may avoid any potential pitfalls and minimise the likelihood of costly claims being brought to the Employment Tribunal.

Forbes' HR Business Support Team can also provide businesses with advice, guidance and support in dealing with internal procedures and processes such as grievances, disciplinaries, appeals and practical HR issues.
