A Valuable Asset
A business's greatest asset is its workforce. But the law relating to employment and industrial relations is rapidly evolving and complex.

A business needs an experienced, practical and commercial approach to Personnel and Human Resource support and employment disputes. Philip George at Whiteside & Knowles in Morecambe is a dedicated and specialist employment law solicitor and he can offer this service.

Do you need employment legal advice on:

• Assistance with the day-to-day management of such HR issues as disciplinary procedures, dismissal, redundancies, recruitment, absence management, data protection and help to avoid disputes where possible?
• Help to draft and tailor policies, handbooks and documents to match the precise needs of your business?
• Analysis of your existing systems to make sure they incorporate fair procedures and comply with the law?
• Skilled experienced representation at contested tribunals, to achieve the best outcome?
• Guidance through redundancy programmes, transfers or sales of businesses to ensure you comply with the law?
• Training for you and your staff to keep abreast of new and changing legislation?
• Failure to Insure
• Risk Assessment
• Vicarious Liability
• Manual Handling Regulations

If so, we can offer you a bespoke service tailored to your business requirements.

If you would like to discuss this without obligation then please contact Philip George.

We offer the following services:

• Contract Audit
  Our contract policy and procedural review service ensures you are in step with the law and provides protection and flexibility if there is a dispute.
  
  
• Employment Tribunal representation
  At the outset, we will realistically assess the strengths of your case, possible outcomes and costs involved. We will help you to comply with time limits and directions, and put you in the strongest possible position.
  
  
• Compromise Agreements - Employer Advice
  We can draft these in order to avoid the need for most Employment Tribunal and Court proceedings, guide you on what compensation to offer and negotiate the signing of the deal.
  
  
• Employment Law Dismissals
  Mistakes in this area can lead to costly, time-consuming legal action. We will guide you all the way, ensuring that you have investigated properly, followed a fair procedure, reached a reasonable conclusion and offered a right of appeal.
  
  
• Redundancies
  We will guide you through the key principles - some of them complex - covering consultation, fair selection and a range of other matters. We will ensure you understand the time scales and costs involved.
