Disciplinary and Grievance Issues

Advise on policies and procedures

Nowadays businesses are subject to legal requirements which routinely carry increasingly heavy awards for compensation at employment tribunals. Our approach is threefold:

1) We aim to help you avoid these situations by advising on policies and procedures to manage conflict and deal with disputes before they escalate;

2) But if you are involved in a dispute or disagreement, we can help you to resolve it. Our aim is for you to reach an acceptable solution by supporting you in managing employee disciplinary, dismissal or grievance issues without having to go through any kind of court hearing. Therefore avoiding risk to reputation and costs of claims;

3) If it has come to a legal challenge, then we have many years experience in legal representation and will advise and guide you through the process. See Specialist Legal Advice and Representation for more.
