Our members' expertise covers all aspects of employment rights, including recruitment and selection, parental leave, flexible working, unfair and wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, redundancy, breach of contract, equality and discrimination, equal pay, disciplinary and grievance procedures, TUPE transfers, restrictive covenants and the protection of confidential information, "garden leave" and Trade Union law.
