Services we provide for employers
Strategic Risk Management & Prevention
We help employers establish robust legal foundations to prevent disputes before they arise. This includes developing compliant policies, proper documentation procedures, and ensuring workplace practices align with employment law requirements. Proactive intervention at the early stages can prevent small operational mistakes from escalating into costly disputes.
Personal Grievance Defence & Representation
When personal grievance claims are raised, we provide strategic guidance on how employers should respond. This includes representation through mediation and the Employment Relations Authority (ERA). Careful and considered responses to grievances protect the employer's legal position and minimise exposure to additional claims.
Disciplinary Process Management
We assist employers in conducting fair and legally compliant disciplinary meetings and investigations. Proper handling ensures employers meet their obligations under principles of natural justice and helps prevent subsequent unfair dismissal claims.
Redundancy Consultation Support
We guide employers through redundancy processes in compliance with the Employment Relations Act 2000, ensuring genuine consultation occurs, redeployment obligations are met, and decisions are made with an open mind. This protects employers from redundancy-related personal grievances while supporting affected employees fairly.
Mediation Facilitation
We work with both parties to negotiate consensual resolutions where appropriate, helping employers reach pragmatic settlements that allow business operations to continue with minimal disruption.
Documentation & Compliance Guidance
Proper documentation is critical in employment disputes. We ensure records are maintained correctly throughout employment processes, strengthening the employer's position if disputes escalate and demonstrating compliance with legal obligations.
Cost & Disruption Minimisation
By handling matters correctly from the outset, we can help reduce litigation costs, legal fees, and business disruption that result from poorly managed employment processes.
