Employment for Businesses

Employment law is one of the fastest-moving areas of law. Case law changes constantly, and it is important to keep your policies, processes and documentation up-to-date. The consequences of non-compliance can be expensive and damaging to your reputation.

We can advise you on all aspects of employment law. We like to work proactively with you, advising you on how to prevent problems. However, if you do have problems with your processes or employees, we can help you resolve them as painlessly and quickly as possible.

As part of our emphasis on preventing problems, we regularly organise seminars for organisations on current aspects of employment law. We can also audit your employment policies to ensure they are efficient and up-to-date.

Whether you come to us for an overall policy audit, or for specific advice, we will look for sensible, practical solutions that work for your individual organisation.

Our employment law team includes two members who are accredited by the Law of Society of Scotland as specialists in employment. The team’s services include:
