Employment Law

Employment Law

For Employers

Employment law is a potential minefield for employers who need to ensure that they meet with all obligations and responsibilities to their employees whilst running an enterprise.

Failure to do so may result in costly legal proceedings, loss of time and punitive financial awards being made against the company and possibly even company officers or managers.

We believe in pre-emptive action and seek to work with our employer clients to develop a bespoke employment support package to best ensure that you can avoid the future costs of litigation where possible.

In the event that a claim is made against you we will work with you to bring any claim to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion. All cases are handled by a partner who will aim to understand your business and perspective and will offer practical advice, rather than simply setting out the options.

We also offer a full Employment Support Package. By subscribing to this package, we will:

  • Carry out a comprehensive review of your existing policies and procedures. We will then make amendments to bring your systems up to date and to ensure that they are in line with current employment legislation
  • Provide a dedicated advice line where your queries will be dealt with by a qualified solicitor
  • Provide routine correspondence where required to deal with a range of employment issues
  • Invite 2 delegates from your organisation to our monthly Employment Law Seminars
  • Arrange a Legal Expense Insurance scheme so that if you have followed the advice of the Employment Team, your business will be protected against the legal cost of defending the case and most awards of up to £100,000

To discuss this scheme, or any other matters call us now on 0800 876 6749 or e-mail info@gardnerberke.co.uk.

Testimonial

The team at Gardner Berke Solicitors, Thank you for so quickly resolving my dispute with my employers. I had seen 2 other solicitors before I was recommended to you and they had both told me that I had no case.

As you know I was in a sticky situation and what I needed was a very quick and favourable settlement. You achieved this for me. I am still not sure how and I can only say thank you. If you are members of 'facebook' please look me up and you will see that I have started a group: 'The Gardner Berke Appreciation Society'. I have prepared posters with your details on and I intend to distribute them to the 5,000 employees of the company where I now work. I have also passed your details amongst a dismissed networking forum that I am a member of. Once again thank you so much.

Yours faithfully,
Elliot Moss
