employment law

Employment law is a growing concern for all businesses. The managing of redundancies, contracts of employment and the handling of unfair dismissal claims can prove to be crucial in the success of a business. Matters such as these are made even more difficult due to an increasingly complex legislative landscape and a volatile economy. Expert legal advice is essential, particularly when dealing with employment law.

At Latimer Hinks we provide both employers and employees specialist advice on all aspects of employment law, from recruitment to redundancy. We offer expertise in the drafting of all forms of employment documents in order to protect both the employer and employee from unnecessary contractual complications.

Where problems do occur, Latimer Hinks is a law firm with experience in a wide range of employee contract disputes and other employment issues. These can range from simple workplace dispute resolution to complex compromise agreements involving key directors. Ultimately, the complex nature of employment law may lead all the way to tribunal action in order to resolve a contractual dispute. If a tribunal becomes inevitable, our specialists are on hand with years of experience to provide employment tribunal representation. 

Discrimination and unequal treatment in the workplace are unlawful and can place tremendous burdens upon employees and employers where they occur.
