Frequently asked questions
How do I engage your employment solicitors in Tonbridge?
Getting started is simple.
Click here to get in touch or call the number on this page to provide a brief overview of your issue.
We’ll then match you with a solicitor who has experience in your sector or situation – whether that’s executive exits, internal disputes or business restructuring.
If you’re not sure what kind of support you need yet, we’ll help you explore your options before any commitment is made.
Do you support employers with grievance and investigations procedures?
Yes, we advise employers across Tonbridge and West Kent on how to handle internal procedures fairly, lawfully and efficiently. That includes drafting letters, conducting investigations and minimising reputational or legal risk. We also deliver practical grievance and investigation training to help HR teams and line managers apply procedures consistently and avoid common pitfalls. If you’re dealing with a live issue, we can step in quickly to support decision-making.
What should I do if I’ve been offered a settlement agreement?
If you’ve been offered a settlement agreement, it’s important to understand what you’re signing – and whether the terms protect your interests. We’ll review the agreement with you, explain your legal position and negotiate improvements where needed. For senior employees and executives, we consider tax, bonuses, confidentiality and future restrictions. Learn more about how our settlement agreement solicitors can help or contact us for a fixed-fee consultation.
Do you advise on sickness absence and long-term leave issues?
We do. Our employment lawyers advise both employers and individuals on managing sickness absence fairly and in line with employment law. For employers, we assist with return-to-work plans, capability dismissals and occupational health processes – along with optional absence management training. For employees, we advise on your rights around sick pay, absence-related dismissal and adjustments under the Equality Act if a condition amounts to a disability.
Do you handle whistleblowing matters?
Yes – we support both whistleblowers and organisations handling protected disclosures. If you’re thinking of raising concerns, we’ll explain the legal protections in place and guide you through the process. For employers, we provide advice on investigations, risk management and avoiding retaliation claims. Whistleblowing can carry reputational risk, so we work with care and discretion on both sides.
What services do you offer employers in regulated sectors?
We act for employers across regulated industries, including financial services sector, education and healthcare. Our advice takes account of sector-specific obligations, reputational concerns and the wider business context. Whether you’re managing executive performance, restructuring or responding to a discrimination complaint, we’ll align our advice to your risk profile and priorities.
