Employment
Bowling & Co act as employment law solicitors for clients across London, elsewhere in the UK and also for overseas employers setting up UK businesses. We bring real expertise and experience to the management of employment law issues : we represent both employers and employees - regularly representing both sides gives us a broader perspective.
We deal with a broad spectrum of employment law issues including for example
- Recruitment
- Offering employment :contract terms and conditions
- Managing employees; assessments and appraisals
- Managing Sickness (especially cumulative short term absence)
- Disciplinary procedures
- Policies (e.g. privacy and computer misuse)
- Grievances
- Varying terms and conditions
- Maternity leave, time off for family emergencies
- Managing Redundancy and dismissal
- Controlling competition and protecting goodwill and business secrets.
Whether you are a new employer taking on your first UK employee, an established business looking at a multi-site redundancy program, or an employee needing advice upon harassment, bullying or a compromise agreement, we will be glad to advise you upon the issues, tactics and documents that you need.
Employment relations are fundamental to effective management in business today. They have far reaching consequences for company policy and procedure, and the success and development of both the employer and the employee at all levels. We are aware of the sensitive business, commercial and personnel issues and offer prompt client- focused cost effective solutions.
We take a practical approach, have extensive negotiating experience, and “if it all goes wrong” have a successful track record both in defending claims for employers and bringing claims for employees.
