A great team of employees can make all the difference to your business’ success. So, finding the right people for your team is crucial. Sadly, however, no matter how much effort you put into recruitment, employment issues can still arise.

These issues can distract you and your business and create financial or reputational risk with its associated stresses.
You can reduce these risks with well-drafted business documents that comply with employment law. These include:

  • employment contracts;
  • workplace policies; and
  • contractor agreements.

  • decrease the likelihood of a dispute; and
  • increase the likelihood of a faster resolution should an issue arise.

  • employment status, rights and benefits;
  • employment contracts;

  • restraints of trade and restrictive covenants;

How LegalVision Can Help

Experienced Employment Lawyers

Growing an established team brings legal questions into ordinary commercial decisions. A senior hire may require a more detailed employment contract and carefully drafted post-termination restrictions. A restructure may require changes to roles, reporting lines or headcount. An acquisition can raise employee transfer issues before the wider transaction is complete.

Taking employment law advice before those decisions are final gives your business more room to assess risk, manage communications and preserve workable options. This is particularly important during leadership changes, restructures and acquisitions, where employment issues can affect timing, cost and management attention.

Our employment solicitors advise businesses throughout the employment relationship, from recruitment and contract terms to performance management, workplace disputes and exits. We also advise on workforce changes that affect larger groups of employees, including redundancy processes and business transfers. Our role is to give commercially practical advice that fits the decision your business needs to make.

Examples of when businesses come to us:

  • a senior hire is being negotiated, and the proposed contract needs stronger confidentiality, incentive and post-termination provisions
  • a restructure is already affecting roles and headcount, and management needs a defensible redundancy process before decisions are communicated
  • a business acquisition is progressing, and employee transfer obligations could affect the transaction timetable, workforce structure and integration plan

Our expertise

  • Employment contracts and senior hires: We draft, review and negotiate employment contracts, service agreements, bonus terms and restrictive covenants so you can appoint people on terms that reflect their role, seniority and access to sensitive information.
  • Day-to-day HR legal advice: We advise on performance, conduct, grievances, sickness absence, flexible working and workplace complaints so management can respond consistently while keeping the employment relationship workable.
  • Restructures and redundancies: We advise on proposed workforce changes, consultation, selection and dismissal risk so you can plan a redundancy process around the commercial reasons for the restructure.
  • Business transfers and TUPE advice: We advise on employee transfer issues arising from acquisitions, outsourcing and service changes so you can assess workforce obligations before agreeing the transaction or implementation plan.
  • Disputes and exits: We advise on disciplinary action, dismissals, settlement agreements and employment claims so you can assess resolution options, manage negotiations and respond to disputes with a clear commercial position.

Our Services

Drafting and Reviewing Contracts

We can draft and review all types of employment agreements for your employees and contractors. We can review contracts to ensure they are up to date, including 90 day trial period clauses, restraint of trade restrictions and privacy obligations.

Resolving Employment Disputes

Our team can help you resolve employment disputes in the workplace, as well as issues that escalate to the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate.

Negotiate and Advise on Employment Law

We can provide advice on collective bargaining, outsourcing, performance management, unfair dismissal, confidential information breach, discrimination, harassment and bullying.

“We help growing businesses, established SMEs and in-house teams manage employment issues before key decisions are announced, while more options are available. We advise on employment contracts, restructures, redundancies, workplace disputes and negotiated exits. These issues often overlap: a restructure may require changes to contracts, while an employee’s exit may raise questions about post-employment restrictions. Our focus is on practical advice that helps your business act with confidence and manage the risk of a challenge.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an employment solicitor do for employers?

An employment solicitor helps employers with contracts, policies, HR decisions, disputes and workforce change. LegalVision’s employment solicitors can help with employment contracts, disciplinary and grievance matters, restructures, TUPE transfers and settlement agreements.

When should we get HR legal advice?

Employers often seek advice when a staff issue could affect a significant management decision, such as performance concerns, grievances, disciplinary action, absence, changes to terms or an exit. Early advice can preserve options and help keep steps consistent.

Can LegalVision support a redundancy process?

Yes. Our employment solicitors can support employers through redundancies and restructures, including selection criteria, individual and collective consultation, alternative roles and settlement agreements, along with the letters and timelines managers need.

When do we need TUPE advice?

TUPE advice is often needed where employees may transfer as part of an acquisition, outsourcing, insourcing or change of service provider. LegalVision’s solicitors can help identify which employees and obligations may transfer and how that affects due diligence, consultation and transaction documents.

What does working with LegalVision on an employment matter involve?

Employment matters usually start with your objective, the relevant employment arrangements and the immediate decisions. Our solicitors can then advise on strategy, prepare documents, support consultation or negotiations and help implement the chosen approach.

Why choose LegalVision’s employment solicitors?

Our employment solicitors advise employers in hospitality, retail, technology, healthcare and professional services, so they understand the workforce pressures in your sector. Fixed fees give you cost certainty, and quick turnarounds help HR teams act before issues escalate.
