We possess a sound knowledge of collective employment matters, including dealing with trade unions, setting up works councils and conducting statutory consultations over large-scale redundancies and TUPE transfers.

Unlike the vast majority of commercial lawyers you'll meet, we have extensive, first-hand experience of conducting face-to-face trade union negotiations on behalf of employers, covering such matters as:

• union recognition
• pay & benefits
• changes to terms and conditions
• site closures & redundancies
• disputed dismissals
• industrial action

We understand unions. We know their tactics and how to negotiate successfully with them.

We offer experienced, sensible advice on works councils, staff associations and other employee forums. Establishing them and using them for more effective two-way communication between management and your workforce always produces results.

We provide detailed and practical advice on your legal obligations to inform and consult on redundancies, TUPE and other statutory matters.

We offer basic training for your employee representatives in statutory consultation situations, in order for your organisation to demonstrate that you take the consultation seriously and are keen to maximise the effectiveness of the process.
