    Employment law covers the rights and duties between workers and employers, including contracts of employment, wages, hours, discrimination, redundancy, and minimum standards. A solicitor practising this area helps with drafting and reviewing contracts, policies and settlement agreements; handling grievances, disciplinary processes, and TUPE transfers; and pursuing or defending claims in the Employment Tribunal or higher courts. They collect evidence, advise on remedies, and negotiate settlements to resolve disputes arising from work relationships.
