Employment Law Advice Brighton – for sound and practical advice on employment law, redundancy and employment rights
Employment Law advice for Employers
Our employment lawyers firmly believe prevention is better than cure. Employment law remains one of the fastest changing areas of law and can prove a costly area for mistakes, which means accurate and up-to-date employment law advice is essential to protect your business.
From our Brighton office, we advise sole traders, SME’s and large corporations on their employment law needs covering a significant range of disciplines, professions and industries.
We offer a free initial employment law assessment. This can be arranged by appointment by calling 01273 662750.
To ensure you have in place the processes and procedures you need for a successful and efficient business, we offer a comprehensive range of employment contracts, company handbooks and internal employment policies which include for example:
- Disciplinary and Grievance procedures, Social Media policies, Equality and Diversity policies, Pregnancy and Maternity policies, Data Protection policies, Sickness and Absence policies and Flexible Working advice.
We also provide:
- Advice for the best recruitment practices to ensure you employ the right person for your business at the outset.
