Employment and Immigration

Businesses spend considerable time, money and effort to ensure that the best staff are recruited, retained, incentivised and rewarded and a full understanding of the fast changing legal issues for both employers and employees is critically important.  Employment is becoming an increasingly regulated area of business life and the penalties for non-compliance can be very onerous.

Our Employment Group advises on all types of employment related claims and disputes in the courts and Employment Tribunals as well as all forms of employment contracts, negotiation and strategy.

We advise on claims for wrongful or unfair dismissal, sex, race, age and all forms of discrimination including complex and high value Tribunal claims.  We have significant experience advising on TUPE transfers, redundancy negotiations, compromise agreements, employment contracts, employee rights, restrictive covenants and confidential information.

The Immigration Group has extensive experience of all aspects of corporate and executive immigration.  As the regulatory regime has become less discretionary with stiffer penalties for compliance failure, bringing specialist people and their skills to the UK has become significantly more complex.

We are able to advise on single and multiple work permit applications, business start ups, executive applications, employment contracts for international workers and immigration procedures.  We also assist companies and individuals facing Home Office enforcement.
