Our areas of expertise include:

  • Drafting and negotiating critical documents such as contracts, policies and procedures and termination agreements
  • Key human resources issues including absence management, employee performance and grievance and disciplinary issues
  • Safeguarding proprietary interests and confidential information
  • Advising investigators, decision-makers and senior managers in relation to internal investigations and related processes
  • Collective workforce processes and disputes
  • Reorganisations, business transfers and outsourcing
  • Discrimination, atypical working and unfair dismissal
  • Bullying and harassment issues

  • Safeguarding employer information

We respond to clients' needs and advise commercially and pragmatically in light of their goals. Our approach is to build relationships, collaborating with in-house teams to deliver advice in a way that is tailored to their business requirements.

We also offer tailored training to help refine workplace practices and to manage and prevent risks.

While we offer local expertise, our services are modelled on the management, quality and value guarantees of the international firm. We can apply agile and bespoke fee arrangements to reflect clients' specific needs and to achieve the right outcome.
