The world has many employment law firms. Most of them look rather similar and say familiar things about what they do. Many of them do it very well. Our aim was to create a law firm which looks, sounds and feels different from most traditional law firms. We have established a practice with compassion and spirit, yet which upholds excellent professional standards and provides the highest quality legal advice. Welcome to Ergo Law, your employment law specialists.
Most of us spend a considerable proportion of our lives at work. When things at work go wrong, it can be worrying and upsetting. We understand how stressful it can be to face difficulties or changes in the workplace. If you have been dismissed or are going through a disciplinary or grievance process, we are here to listen and to provide support and guidance throughout. You can also turn to us for advice if you are being bullied, harassed or discriminated against at work, or if there are changes on the horizon, such as redundancy, changes to your terms and conditions, or a transfer of your work to another employer.
If you are facing issues at work, we recommend that you seek assistance at an early stage. If addressed swiftly, matters can often be resolved before they escalate to a point where it becomes difficult to remain in work.
If you would like to discuss your current circumstances, we would be delighted to arrange an initial meeting. We will assess your situation and give you clear and straightforward advice on your legal position. We will suggest strategies to help you deal with your situation and resolve matters if possible. We will explain the likely next steps and the potential outcomes. We have in-depth experience of advising employees on day-to-day employment problems and find that our clients feel reassured simply by having us on board, by discussing matters with us and by understanding more about their rights and options.
If you are a senior executive, we will advise you on your contract of employment/service agreement and we can help you to negotiate contractual terms which protect your position whilst striking a balance to safeguard the relationship with your new employer. We can provide detailed employment advice on restrictive covenants and competition and confidentiality clauses so that you can plan your future career with a full understanding of your obligations. Such a review may be necessary at the end of employment in order to clarify the nature and extent of any applicable post-termination restrictions, but it is also worth considering taking advice on these clauses before employment starts. We are experienced in negotiating executive exits and settlement arrangements, acting swiftly and surely to let you concentrate on your future ventures. Please contact us for more information on the specialist advice and assistance which we can provide to senior executives.
Your employees are at the heart of your business. When relationships between you and your employees are strong, your business benefits through improved productivity, lower absence rates and higher levels of staff retention. It is also a better place to work.
We are here to provide you with day-to-day HR support and to offer advice and guidance on all of the legal issues which may arise during the employment relationship, from drafting new contracts and policies to advising on dismissal. Whether it is managing sickness absence, handling pregnancy and maternity leave, making adjustments for disabled employees or changing contractual terms (and everything in between) you can outsource your HR support to us and be comfortable that you are in safe hands. We would be happy to arrange an informal discussion with you about the types of support which we can offer your business.
