Employment

Employment law is complex and rapidly changing and it is a challenge for any business to stay abreast of the legislation. For consultants, this is further complicated by the raft of NHS regulation which can affect their employment contracts, so it is always sensible to obtain specialist advice when dealing with an employment law problem.

We offer a comprehensive employment law service tailored exclusively to the needs of Consultants. We help clients deal with their employment contracts with the Trust, as well as their private work business relationships including helping them manage any staff they employ in their private capacity. We help reduce the risk of employment issues arising through providing bespoke clinical and non clinical employment contracts, robust HR policies and procedures, and rigorous training programmes. In the event that a problem does arise, we seek to resolve it in the most effective way which minimises the cost and harm to reputation. Where a claim makes it to an employment tribunal, we have an exemplary record of successfully defending our client’s position.

Recent work includes:

• Issues with NHS Trust employment contracts
• Practice reorganisation; redundancies and changing staff contracts
• TUPE transfers and advice
• Non clinical staff contracts and staff handbooks
• Employment law training
• Contentious/litigious matters
