Employment law is in place to protect both employees and employers. Employment law is always changing with new legislation being introduced regularly. As an employer or employee, it is important that you keep up-to-date with the latest developments so you do not fall foul of the law as an employer and you are aware of your entitlements as an employee.

There are many issues which can arise in working life which may be a breach of your employee rights and of employment laws. These issues may include:

• Unfair Dismissal
• Wrongful Dismissal
• Redundancies
• Compromise Agreements
• All forms of discrimination: Disability, Race, Sex, Age, Sexual Orientation, Religious, Gender Reassignment, Marriage and Civil Partnership and Pregnancy and Maternity
• Equal Pay
• Restrictive Covenants, Confidential Information and Garden Leave
• Contract Drafting
