Employment Law

Foster Fair Employee Relations with Expert Guidance

Employment law is crucial in defining and managing the relationship between employers and employees. But it should go beyond just understanding the letter of the law. Engaging with the right law firm allows you to implement legislation in a way that also reflects your business culture, values and ethics. 

So what should you consider: 

  • Regulatory compliance: Ensure your business adheres to the latest employment laws to avoid legal pitfalls and maintain a positive working environment.  And make sure that the compliance doesn’t take the soul from your business by working with a legal partner that understands what makes your business tick. 
  • New legislation: Stay updated with changes.  There are plenty of new legislation changes this Autumn relating to worker rights and your obligations as a business owner. 
  • Employee relations: Foster a fair and equitable workplace by understanding both your rights as an employer and the rights of your employees.  There may be areas of your business where you can offer enhanced terms that go above and beyond the legislations, helping you to attract and retain talent. 


If you find the details daunting or are unsure about your obligations, Jamieson Law is here to help. We’ll guide you through the complexities of employment law, offering clear and practical advice to ensure you remain compliant and informed.

Employee handbooks outline how things are done in the workplace. They typically cover important policies such as health and safety, holidays, sick leave, grievance and disciplinary procedures, equality, various types of leave, benefits, working hours, and more. They act as a one stop shop for your employees to find information and understand how your business operates.

Your employment contracts start right from the moment you issue an offer letter but it doesn’t stop there. Your employment contract should set out the key terms of employment for your new member of staff and should sign post them to your policies and handbook for more detailed insights. These contracts set the tone for your engagement and should reflect your business ethics and tone of voice.

If you don't have an internal HR team, outsourcing HR support is an excellent option for managing complex situations. Dismissals or redundancy processes are often emotionally charged and there is strict legislation governing what is and isn’t acceptable. Engaging with a legal partner like Jamieson Law alleviates much of the administrative burden, ensuring tasks are completed correctly and fairly.

TUPE or The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, protects employees' terms and conditions when a business or service provision is transferred to a new employer. This is often required in a business sale or merger and needs careful consideration and negotiation with the buyer.

An organisational restructure can impact everyone, departments or individuals in a business. Often the process aims to enhance company operations, add or remove resources to respond to changes in the market or economy, and sometimes to reduce costs ahead of a business event. This can be a challenging time where insightful legal support can create peace of mind that the process is fair and evenly handled.
