Employment

About

Provided by Field Seymour Parkes

Our team specialises in practical commercial employment advice with the options, risks, costs and benefits explained at the outset. The team has built a diverse client base and acts for employers in a wide range of sectors, from blue chip companies to small local charities, and for senior employees.

We advise on the full range of employment issues and our balanced team of solicitors, across all experience levels, provides us with a significant advantage. We have developed particular expertise in complex reorganisations, enforcing restrictive covenants, handling difficult senior employee departures and we have an excellent success rate in litigation.

Recent work highlights include the successful defence of age discrimination claims following an eight day tribunal hearing, advising on the closure of part of a business with in excess of 1,500 employees and acting on a class action concerning underpayment of holiday pay.

Our advice is carefully tailored to each client, as we know that the same approach does not work for all. We maintain a proactive approach to ensure we gain a detailed understanding of our clients and how they work so we can tailor our advice to their way of thinking and establish long-standing relationships.
