Employment

Headed by Peter Lamble at Truro, Coodes' specialist employment practitioners deal with the many legal requirements surrounding employment matters.

Representing employers and groups of employees, we have dealt with disputes at all levels, including representation at tribunals and courts.

Beating the jargon

With the huge increase of national and European legislation regarding employment, it has become an increasingly complex and potentially expensive area for employers.

Legislation now governs how staff should be recruited, employed and leave the company. If this is not handled correctly it can have serious implications for the employer. It is therefore vital to put systems in place to comply with these regulations.

Some of the most common areas of dispute resolution for commercial, institutional and individual clients are:

• Preparation of contracts of employment and staff management procedures
• Advice on termination procedures, including negotiating the terms of departing employees
• Claims for unfair and wrongful dismissal
• Advice on changes in legislation
• Advice on the impact of legislation on contractual terms, including discrimination issues and employee rights
• Representation at tribunals and higher courts
