The objective of the Employment Department is to protect employers and to motivate employees with a view to minimising the risk of employment-related problems. If a dispute arises, we will advise clients on how best to handle the situation before it develops into a legal problem. We act for employers and employees and handle the broad range of both contentious and non-contentious issues with which all employers and employees may have to deal. On the non-contentious side, we advise on the preparation and amendment of contracts of employment, internal employment procedures, protection from competition, pensions, employee benefits, equal opportunities, business transfers, health and safety and alternative employment arrangements. If matters become contentious we can compromise effectively and swiftly or, if appropriate and necessary, we can deal with claims in the Industrial Tribunal, the High Court or County Court.
Employment law is one of the fastest-developing areas of law.
Pritchard Englefield aim to keep our clients abreast of all the relevant new UK and EU legislation and case law. We pride ourselves on our pro-active approach and our contribution to the changing face of employment law through our involvement in leading cases brought on behalf of our wide range of employer and employee clients.
