    This work covers how employers and employees handle work-based disputes and day-to-day staff management. It includes drafting and enforcing contracts, staff handbooks, policies, and procedures, as well as advising on performance management, discipline, grievances, redundancies, restructures, and TUPE transfers. A solicitor in this area represents clients in negotiations, tribunals, and courts, and helps navigate employment rights, discrimination claims, and whistleblowing issues. The work is shaped by statutory duties, case law, and regulatory codes of practice that govern employer-employee relations.

    “We have used Simon Wallwork and Rhian Owen as corporate advisors for many years. The advice has always been excellent, professional, timely and good value. More recently we have used Hannah Al-Shaghana in the property department and like SImon and Rhian, her advice was excellent and they are all a pleasure to deal with. ”
