Employment law specialists
in Basingstoke, Hampshire

Whatever your business, everyday contractual and regulatory issues will affect you.

Employment legislation is changing all the time and is fast becoming the greatest area of risk of claims for employers. European directives and statutory requirements now make it essential for employers and employees alike to keep up to date with their obligations and rights. Many employers lack awareness and understanding about their legal obligations to staff members.

Employers could save themselves from expensive and time consuming claims by seeking timely professional advice to ensure that they comply with their legal duties and implement fair and reasonable terms of employment, policies and procedures.

Employees should also understand not only their rights but also their obligations as employees.

Our specialist lawyers work with employers and employees, covering the whole range of legal issues in employment law, giving practical advice on all matters, whether simple or complex. Our expertise extends to preventative measures as well as to representation at Employment Tribunals or before the Court.

These are the employment areas we cover:
