Employment Law
DFA Law has represented clients in employment cases for over 20 years and has worked with employees and employers in both the public and private sectors.
We deal with contentious aspects of employment law such as unfair dismissal as well as non-contentious aspects like contracts of employment. Our commercial approach to cases helps to achieve the best result for clients when a negotiated settlement is the best option. We offer the following services:
Contentious areas:
- Unfair dismissal
- Redundancy
- Working time regulations
- Flexible working arrangements
- Discrimination law
- Restrictive covenants
- TUPE
Non-contentious areas:
- Drafting employment contracts
- Employment policies and procedure advice
- Service agreements
- Training
Acting for both Employer and Employee, we can give balanced advice to either side in an employment dispute. Our team is respected for their skills as advocates in employment tribunal and employment appeal tribunals. The fact that we represent the client ourselves ensures that the client has one point of contact throughout the case and can be confident that their representative has a complete understanding of the issues.
Recent matters include:
-
Acting for large UK based companies including hotel chains and construction companies, negotiating director exit packages.
-
Advising HR management teams in SMEs and appearing before employment tribunals and the employment appeal tribunal on behalf of clients.
-
Successfully defending an unlawful deduction from wages claim, which was brought as a test case on behalf of 80 employees.
-
Acting for a private limited company defending an unfair dismissal claim arising out of the TUPE regulations, in which the company concerned, has also initiated a complicated TUPE claim against the company the employee was originally transferred from.
