Employment & HR
Harrison Drury provides clients with access to a highly experienced team of employment lawyers as well as specialist HR professionals who deliver support across the full range of employment law issues ranging from day-to-day HR matters to complex projects and defending employment litigation.
The benefit of the combined HR and employment specialisms in the team is that advice in both areas is closely aligned in order to minimise client exposure to disputes. The team works proactively with clients to avoid disputes arising and manage issues and they work in the long term with retained clients in this respect, acting as an extension of clients’ in-house teams, protecting your business and working to long term objectives.
Whether you are an SME, an owner managed business or a large corporate organisation with your own HR team, the solicitors and HR professionals at Harrison Drury provide support across the whole employment lifecycle from onboarding staff and ensuring contractual arrangements are fit for purpose through to day-to-day management of all people matters right through to exit, working creatively with clients to identify commercially focused solutions where needed.
The team also supports clients with redundancy exercises, helping you to navigate the often difficult and complex restructuring process, adding a wealth of value to the process and negotiating with staff where the stakes are high, whilst ensuring compliance is achieved to protect the client from any future claims.
Employment advice extends to contractual work for both new and existing staff, service agreements and policies, handbooks and other documentation, in line with increasing levels of compliance in a fast moving and ever-changing area of law.
We pride ourselves on the relationships we develop with our clients and the commercial and pragmatic legal advice we provide. We will take the time to get to know your business and will work collaboratively and commercially with you to ensure our advice works with your operational needs and approach to managing legal risk.
As employment law is constantly evolving, we make sure our advisors are up to date with all the latest developments so that you can rest assured we have you covered. We don’t use legal jargon – our advice is provided in a straightforward and clear way so you know exactly what you need to do and if you need it, can receive support on the practical implementation of that advice from our HR team.
