Lisa Gettins - Team Leader and Partner

Employment law is notoriously complex and fast-changing. If relationships break down with employees, your greatest asset could turn into your worst nightmare. We’re here to make sure that does not happen.

Being proactive and anticipating employment issues before they arise is a vital part of our service and the size of our team means that we can be highly responsive. We pride ourselves on delivering client focused and commercial solutions whilst working for public and private sector clients, ranging from SMEs to PLCs.


We have an impressive track record at employment tribunals and carry out the advocacy in cases where this is the client’s preference.  We support our clients with regular technical updates, training and seminars to keep their skills up to date. A number of our employment team have worked in industry  and appreciate what it is like to be on the client’s side.

We hold our own in the top tier of law firms for employment law in Gloucestershire and the M4 corridor and work alongside the HR Consultancy which is often the first port of call for many of our clients’ day to day employment issues and can often be the most cost effective solution.

Our work includes:  

  • TUPE and business transfers
  • Trade Union and collective disputes, including industrial action
  • Executive appointments and severance
  • Redundancy and restructures
  • Absence management
  • Discrimination and diversity issues
  • Family friendly rights
  • Representation at employment tribunals
  • Contracts and handbooks
  • Restrictive covenants and business protection
