    This area covers how people organise when they work, including flexible and part‑time arrangements, shift patterns, advance notice of hours, and limits on working time. A solicitor in this field drafts, reviews and negotiates contracts or variations to reflect agreed patterns, advises on rights to request flexible working, handles correspondence with employers, and may prepare or challenge applications to employment tribunals or the courts when patterns breach statutory rules. How hours are set, changed or monitored can shape pay, entitlements and career prospects.

    “I came to Slater Heelies after a disaster with previous solicitor. Alex from the onset was friendly, reassuring, professional but firm. Many times she had to challenge my perspectives and encouraged strength. Alex had an objective approach and was always quick and prompt in replying to emails and calls. Her in depth knowledge was reassuring and was able to relay in a succinct manner that was easy to digest. I felt with Alex’s friendly manner that she always had my best interests at the heart and was extremely reassuring during the whole process which was really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using her again… but at the same time hope that there would never be a need. Thank you ”

    “Gareth demonstrated exceptional responsiveness from the outset. After I contacted him late one evening, he arranged a call for the following morning and provided tailored, reassuring advice during a period that was both new and unsettling for me due to my recent redundancy. He remained attentive at every stage through to the signing of the agreement and supported me in securing a positive outcome. I would be pleased to engage his services again and recommend him without hesitation.”
