Our Equality and Discrimination team is ranked the highest in its field by independent guides Chambers and The Legal 500. They provide cutting-edge advice on the latest developments in the law to keep employers safe from legal challenge.
The Disability Discrimination Act 2005; The Equality Act 2010; the removal of the default retirement age in 2011. Equality and discrimination law is constantly updating. As an employer it's vital to keep up with such changes to avoid costly and damaging legal challenges from your employees.
We believe prevention is better than cure. Our team takes a proactive, pragmatic approach, working closely with your HR management, to identify risks in your employment policy before a dispute happens.
Should a dispute arise, we're with you every step of the way. We have an expert dispute resolution team, covering both the private and public sector from investment banks and global insurers to the NHS. Our public law team is also a leader in its field. We always work to protect your reputation and your commercial and corporate interests.
We help you prepare for change. Our specialist analysts track trends and key developments in all aspects of discrimination law and work closely with government bodies to influence and track new legislation. They guide you through the implications and provide clear, practical strategies to help you meet any challenges. Our training team can tailor seminars, workshops, and e-learning to your individual needs, to help you refine your workplace practices.
Our approach works. We're renowned for our work with major players in the private and public sector, providing strategic advice to full litigation services. We helped a global business prepare for the Equality Act 2010. We gave comprehensive advice to the NHS Litigation Authority and co-ordinated the defence of hundreds of equal pay claims.
We give ongoing advice to the leading equality bodies such as Inclusive Employers, the Employers Forums on Age and Beliefand the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's Diversity network. We have also acted in many sensitive and complex litigation cases.
Equality and discrimination issues put your organisation's reputation on the line. Rely on us to help you keep it safe.
