Employment Law for Employers
In the field of employment, the law is constantly changing. That is why you need specialist legal advice from lawyers who make it their business to keep ahead in this ever-changing area of legal work. At Sills & Betteridge, we are able to offer a truly specialist employment law service to our clients through our team of employment lawyers.
If you are an employer, your legal obligations begin at the recruitment stage and continue even beyond the termination of someone’s employment. It is important to get the law right, given how costly and time-consuming mistakes can be to your business. Our lawyers can help guide you safely through this complex area.
We have vast experience across the entire spectrum of employment work - advising hundreds of national employers, SMEs and sole traders every year.
Employment litigation cannot always be avoided. If you find yourself before an employment tribunal or a court, we will ensure that you are expertly represented in the most cost-effective manner.
Fees
Whilst our team can advise and assist you in relation to one-off cases, we are also happy to look at whether a fixed fee retainer service for ongoing advice is appropriate and consider general fixed fee packages for certain aspects of our services.
We will work with you to identify what costing option is appropriate, based on your business, the nature and complexity of the advice required and your wider employment law requirements.
We have flexible options to suit every business and budget with “bolt-ons” available, including optional insurance to cover defending Employment Tribunal claims, injunctions to enforce restraints of trade and even Tribunal awards and settlement payments.
For work which is charged at an hourly rate, we will give you an estimate of costs, providing clarity and certainty from the outset.
These packages can enable certainty of cost to your business and allow you to feel safe in the knowledge that an experienced solicitor is always on hand.
We also offer training on matters such as equality and diversity, modern slavery, carrying out disciplinary procedures and much more.
Our expertise will ensure that you are on the best possible legal footing, no matter what the situation.
