Organisational change can sometimes require difficult decisions about roles, working arrangements and the future shape of a workforce. Where an employer is proposing a significant number of redundancies, additional legal obligations around collective consultation may apply.

A settlement agreement can provide employers and employees with a structured way to resolve a workplace dispute or bring an employment relationship to an end on agreed terms.

Recruiting the right people is essential for a growing business, but employers also need to ensure that their recruitment process is fair, consistent and legally compliant.

Effective performance management helps employers make sure employees understand what is expected of them, receive appropriate support and have an opportunity to improve where standards are not being met.

Businesses restructure for many reasons, from reducing costs and responding to changing markets to introducing new technology, combining teams or preparing for future growth.

Everyone should be able to work without experiencing unlawful discrimination or harassment. Unfortunately, problems can arise at any stage of employment, from recruitment and promotion through to performance management, redundancy or dismissal.

Being offered a settlement agreement by your employer can feel unexpected, particularly if it is connected with redundancy, performance concerns, a grievance or the proposed end of your employment.

Problems at work can take many forms. You may have concerns about how you are being treated, a disagreement with your manager or colleagues, or you may have been told that your employer is investigating your conduct.

If you believe you have been treated unlawfully at work, you may be able to make a claim to an Employment Tribunal.

Starting a new job is an important step, but it is worth taking time to understand exactly what you are agreeing to before signing your employment contract.

Being told that your job is at risk of redundancy can be unsettling, particularly if you are unsure what your employer is required to do or what you are entitled to receive.

Executive Service Agreements can provide greater protection and clarity when employing directors and senior executives. This guide explains the key provisions employers should consider, including remuneration, notice periods, garden leave, confidentiality, restrictive covenants, intellectual property and termination, helping businesses protect their commercial interests from the outset.
