Employment Law
rhw provide advice on employment law within the dispute resolution and corporate and commercial teams to businesses and individuals throughout Guildford, Surrey and South East England.
The law of employment is broadly acknowledged as an area of considerable significance in the current political climate.
Statutes enacted recently have greatly altered the law and generated critical new rights and obligations.
This evolution in the law is being maintained at a swift rate, as a result of new legislation from Westminster producing or adjusting statutory rights every year.
Legislation emanating from Brussels and judgments of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) have also had, and will persist in having, crucial importance within particular fields of the law of employment in England.
Consequently, an abundance of judgments of English courts and employment tribunals have elucidated the effect and implications of these new provisions.
Therefore, whether you are a business or an individual, an employer, an employee, a worker or self-employed, it is more important than ever to be certain that you are aware of any rights or obligations you do have.
Failing to take legal advice before you act could result in you falling foul of a new provision and learning about it the hard way – via a costly adverse employment tribunal decision.
