How We Help You
Our employment law solicitors in Stoke-on-Trent advise on the full range of workplace matters, with a specialist focus on areas such as:
- Settlement Agreements - If you’ve been offered a settlement agreement, or you’re an employer proposing one, it’s vital that the terms protect you properly and reflect what has been agreed. We can review and advise quickly, explain any restrictive covenants and confidentiality clauses, negotiate improvements where appropriate, and support you through signing and completion.
- Employer Advice and Representation - We help employers resolve disputes and protect their commercial interests. This includes guidance on disciplinaries and grievances, absence management, workplace investigations, redundancy processes and exit negotiations, as well as representation when issues escalate.
- Drafting Employment Documents - Clear documentation helps prevent disputes before they start. We can draft and update employment contracts, policies and procedures, staff handbooks and director/service agreements, ensuring your documents reflect current best practices and your operational needs.
- Employee Advice and Representation - If you’re experiencing problems at work, we can advise on your rights and next steps, including issues such as unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, whistleblowing, constructive dismissal and pay disputes. If you are looking for employment solicitors in Stoke, we can provide local support from our Hanely office and act quickly where time limits apply.
- Employment Tribunals - When early resolution isn’t possible, our employment tribunal solicitors can prepare and run your case from start to finish, including ACAS early conciliation, drafting claims and responses, evidence preparation, witness statements, negotiations and advocacy support. We’ll give you realistic advice on costs and strategy at every stage.
