Employment relations covers the relationships between employers, employees and trade unions, including how contracts are formed, varied or ended, and how disputes are handled. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates employment contracts, grievance and discipline procedures, consultation on redundancies, TUPE transfers, and collective agreements, and represents clients in settlement discussions or proceedings in employment tribunals or courts. The work hinges on balancing rights and responsibilities within modern workplaces while navigating regulatory requirements and case law.
