Solicitors advise employers and employees, including those in small family businesses as well as major companies and corporates, on how the changing legislation affects them. They advise employees on their rights and on all that is involved in bringing a tribunal case and the chances of success.
Solicitors will often find themselves dealing with stressed, emotional or demanding clients, and especially so if a case goes to an employment tribunal.
Areas about which an employment law solicitor must be knowledgeable for both employer and employee include:
- Dismissal
- Redundancy
- Compromise Agreements
- Contracts & Conditions of Service
- Maternity & Parental Rights
- Equality & Diversity
- Discrimination
- Employees’ Rights on the Sale or Liquidation of a Business
