DARREN SHERBORNE - PARTNER
Employment law is notoriously complex and fast-changing. If relationships break down with employees, your greatest asset could turn into your worst nightmare. Were here to make sure that does not happen.
Being proactive and anticipating employment issues before they arise is a vital part of our service. Most of our employment clients have more than 50 staff and operate in industry sectors that include recruitment, retail, property development, care and construction.
When employment problems occur they often need to be dealt with immediately. Clients do not have time to wait for hours for a response from their legal advisers. The size of our team means that we can be highly responsive. We also pride ourselves on using plain English, keeping letters short and to the point and focusing on getting our clients quick results.
In employment law, as with other areas of commercial law, our job is to help our clients achieve their objectives and not to tell them what they cannot do.
