Employment

Our employment specialists offer expert advice on all areas of employment law both contentious and non-contentious.

In acting for employers, we can advise you of your duties and obligations before a dispute arises. Often disputes can be avoided by giving careful thought to the recruitment process and by careful drafting of the contracts of employment.

In the event of dispute, we will provide advice and representation whether on behalf of an aggrieved employee, or employer.

This will include representation at Tribunals as appropriate but with the emphasis of providing sensible and practical advice. We advise large employers with multi-site operations, small private companies and individual employees.

Within this we also give specialist advice if you think you have been a victim of either sex, race, disability or age discrimination.

Whilst it is to be hoped that employers and employees can resolve most differences in-house, beyond that the legal process for both sides is a minefield. Parties need competent advice at the outset particularly to avoid making early concessions which could later compromise their position at Tribunal. For this reason in the event of a dispute Mewies Solicitors would recommend the earliest possible interview.
