Employment law advice in Richmond – early support, better outcomes.
Timing is everything in employment law. Acting early – whether you’re restructuring a team, negotiating an exit or signing a new contract – can often prevent problems from developing and help secure the outcome you’re aiming for. Delay, on the other hand, can increase cost, risk and stress for everyone involved.

Can you help if I’ve been selected for redundancy?
Yes. We advise employees and executives in Richmond who are facing redundancy or have already been dismissed. If you’ve been selected unfairly, offered a poor settlement or believe your redundancy is a cover for something else, we’ll help you challenge it. We also advise on statutory and enhanced redundancy pay. Use our redundancy pay calculator to check your entitlement, or see our full page on redundancy advice for more information.
We’re buying or selling part of a business in Richmond - does TUPE apply?
If a business transfer or service provision change is happening, TUPE (the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations) may apply. This means affected employees could have the right to transfer to the new employer on their existing terms. We advise businesses and individuals in Richmond on TUPE rights and obligations, helping you avoid liability and manage consultation duties. Whether you’re selling, acquiring or being transferred, we’ll help you understand what’s required and how to protect your interests.
