Our award winning Employment and Pensions unit has a wide client base and regularly advises both employers and employees on issues that may arise.

Employment law undergoes frequent and sometimes dramatic changes. This can be due to developments in British and European case law or to new UK legislation, which is introduced bi-annually. Our dedicated Employment and Pensions unit follows all developments carefully and is able to advise you accordingly.

For employers

We appreciate that dealing with the growing complexities can be a problem but getting it wrong can also have very serious consequences for you and your business.

By working with us you will enjoy around-the-clock human resources support from our large, skilled, experienced, award winning and specialist team so we can nip any problems in the bud as soon as they arise.

We can provide you with advice on all areas of employment law, offering expertise in many sectors including corporate, education, health and medical, banking, manufacturing, social housing, local and central government, rural and many more.

We will send you updates on recent developments that may affect you and we offer you a wide range of training programmes in the law and how to handle workplace issues.

As part of a full service law firm our team can also call on input from other specialist areas of our firm to provide you with the best possible advice at all times on other issues like pensions, tax, benefits and health and safety.

We also offer you a dedicated discrimination law service and have close contacts with specialists in equal opportunities, whistle-blowing and conciliation.

With so many changes taking place in employment relationships we believe you deserve the best information, training and protection.

For employees

The often complex and progressive legislation means that timely, accurate advice is essential to protect your interests at all times.

Whether you are an employer or an employee for more information please contact  Alan Masson or Alun Thomas in our Edinburgh office or Chris McDowall  in our Glasgow office.
