Practical advice focused on clients needs.
Employment Law affects most people at some stage of their lives. The areas are vast; from the old text books which discuss the relations between Master and Servant to current law, which deals not only with the relations between employer and employee, but also the many areas of discrimination. Today we advise on the position of agency workers, migrant workers, sub-contractors and the self employed.
Employment law is a dynamic area of law which is constantly adapting to meet and even to influence changes in society, particularly with the need to meet the requirements of membership of the European Community. Apart from the many Acts of Parliament which have been passed over recent years, there are also Statutory Regulations and European Legislation. At its heart Employment law is based on contract and an employment lawyer needs to be able to draft and interpret contracts.
