In the first instance, seeking proactive advice helps to ensure your business adheres to the relevant laws and regulations. O’Donnell Solicitors are able to provide straight-talking legal advice, ensuring that you have the necessary employment contracts and workplace policies in place to provide protection and minimise risk, and ensuring that you are aware of any relevant changes in the law which may affect your business.
Should a situation with an employee arise, we will work with you to establish the root of the issue at an early stage to ensure that the most cost-effective advice can be provided from the outset. We will guide you through the necessary procedures to attempt to address the issue to try to avoid it becoming a formal claim.
If an employee brings a claim against your business, we will guide you through the ACAS Early Conciliation process and, if the claim is not addressed at this stage and proceedings are issued in the Employment Tribunal, we will work with you to defend you and your business against the claim. The processes and the economics of this type of litigation will be explained in plain English so that the best decisions for your business can be made at the earliest opportunity.
We have extensive experience of negotiating settlements on behalf of employers and we will assist with the drafting and negotiation of settlement agreements.
We are able to work quickly and efficiently in providing our services, finding solutions and ensuring that your legal needs are taken care of so that you can concentrate on running your business.
Our employment law solicitors are known for their straight-talking approach and will always aim to communicate clearly and effectively whilst taking a hard line on protecting our clients’ interests.
