Employment

Employment law is a complex and rapidly evolving area. Headed by Ciara Mullan, the Jaswal Johnston Employment team, have specific expertise in advising both employers and employees on their legal rights and responsibilities as changes occur.

For Businesses

Our belief is that prevention is better than cure. For this reason, we work in hand with our clients to ensure compliance with statutory and contractual obligations. We advise on employment contracts, disciplinary and grievance procedures, health and safety requirements, creating staff handbooks, applying codes of practice and meeting the responsibilities imposed by discrimination legislation. When problems arise, we will guide you through the proper procedures to follow for dismissal and redundancy. A thorough appreciation of these areas will reduce the risk of employee claims and protect your business from expensive litigation.

We have specialist experience of advising employers on worker's rights when a business changes hands. By understanding and adopting the correct procedure, the transition can be seamless and liability of the seller or purchaser can be minimised.

We are in a unique position to assist businesses who employ overseas nationals. Working in tandem with our Immigration team, we can provide up-to-date advice on immigration law, allowing you to employ the individuals that can make a real difference to your commercial success.

For Individuals

With wide experience of employment claims, we are aptly placed to offer advice to individuals in dispute with their employer, whether in relation to discrimination (race, sex, religion and age), unfair and wrongful dismissal, victimisation or harassment. Our objective is to provide a swift but successful resolution to your matter, minimising stress and legal expense.
