Dealing with fast-changing employment law can be very challenging and time-consuming. Employment disputes can involve complex issues and be a major distraction for your organisation. Our expert team of specialist employment lawyers, based in Edinburgh and Glasgow, can help you solve problems swiftly, cost-effectively, and in a way that minimises the risk to your organisation.
Working with some of the best-known employers across Scotland, including SMEs, national PLCs, utilities companies, charities and local authorities, our employment law specialists advise on all areas of employment law. We ensure that you are able to focus on your business by helping you deal with any employment issues that arise. We also minimise your exposure to Employment Tribunal claims.
Our specialist team has more Law Society of Scotland accredited employment law specialists than any other team in Scotland. The team is ranked in Chambers UK and Legal 500 as one of the best in Scotland, and was recently commended by The Times in its Best Law Firms Guide.
Wide-ranging and extensive employment law experience
Our employment lawyers assist clients with the full range of employment law matters, including organisational restructures and TUPE, redundancy, pay and remuneration, equal pay and holiday pay, equality and discrimination claims (and how to avoid workplace discrimination), dismissals, settlement agreements, disciplinary and grievance matters, whistleblowing and employment and worker status.
Our team's wide-ranging and extensive experience means you can be confident that we will be able to understand your issues, anticipate any problems and provide the best possible outcome for you and your organisation.
A continually evolving area of law
In an area of law that is continually evolving, our team of accredited employment lawyers works closely with clients to ensure our proactive advice is tailored for their strategic needs.
We have been praised for our ‘partner-led advocacy’ in Employment Tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal. We work hard to avoid cases reaching the Employment Tribunal, focusing instead on resolving matters out of court. However, if going to Tribunal is necessary, you can be sure that our employment lawyers will prepare your case to the highest standard and argue your case extensively.
Proactive and clear employment law advice
Our employment lawyers are straight talking and will provide clear, pragmatic advice. You can expect us to be proactive and accessible, providing swift, expert advice as an employment issue unfolds.
