Employment
“Manches employment lawyers really make it their business to know your business, which is a great asset.” Chambers & Partners
Overview
Manches' employment law team provides refreshingly fast, proactive and practical legal support. Approachable and commercially aware, the team's specialists have in-depth experience of the challenges faced by businesses when it comes to their staff.
UK and European employment legislation is ever-growing, making it increasingly difficult to stay on the right side of the law and all too easy to slip up. Our approach is simple - rather than give dire warnings about legal rights and responsibilities, we look at the reality of a situation and suggest the best solution. We take time to understand the challenges faced by businesses in an uncertain market.
Our team acts for public companies, groups of companies, owner-managed businesses, academic institutions and other not-for-profit organisations, start-up companies and senior executives.
We provide a fast response by telephone or email to urgent employment problems, as well as support in handling on-going procedures or preparing policies. Our advice covers:
- Compromise agreements
- Contracts of employment
- Data protection and workplace monitoring
- Disciplinary/grievance procedures
- Discrimination issues
- Dismissals and redundancies
- Employment Tribunal and court claims
- Flexible working and parental rights
- Industrial relations
- Restrictive covenants
- Share schemes
- TUPE
When faced with litigation, the team actively runs the case, guiding and advising in the Tribunal or High Court in areas such as:
- Contractual disputes
- Injunctions
- Unfair and wrongful dismissal
- All aspects of discrimination
- ‘Whistle blowing’
- Industrial relations
At Employment Tribunal we often carry out the advocacy ourselves.
Our Employment team in the Thames Valley has developed the Manches' Employer Protection Scheme. We also work closely with The Compliance Group to provide specialist employer services such as payroll, HR administration, recruitment, compliance, and health & safety.
