Whether you’re an employee, senior executive or employer, we offer practical support across the full range of employment law matters.
How quickly can I get advice?
We respond promptly, usually on the same day or next working day. If your matter is urgent – such as a suspension, dismissal or redundancy- we’ll prioritise your enquiry to ensure you receive timely support.
What are my options for getting legal advice?
We offer flexible ways to access our services. You can meet one of our specialist employment solicitors in the Tunbridge Wells office, or speak to us by phone or video call – whichever suits you best. We work with clients across London and the South East, and tailor our approach to your preferences and availability.
How much will it cost to get advice?
We’re transparent about costs and will explain all fees clearly before work begins. We offer a range of pricing options including fixed fees, capped-fee packages and hourly rates. For employees, some matters may be covered by legal expenses insurance or include a contribution from your employer, particularly in settlement agreement cases.
Do you review employment contracts?
Absolutely. We review, draft and negotiate employment contracts at all levels, including executive service agreements, consultancy contracts and fixed-term roles. For employees, we explain key clauses such as notice periods, bonus terms and post-termination restrictions. For employers, we ensure contracts are legally compliant and reflect your business needs.
Do you help with employment tribunal claims in Kent?
Yes. Whether you’re bringing or defending a claim, we’ll assess the strength of your case, guide you through the process, and represent you if needed. Our employment solicitors aim to resolve matters early where possible, but we have the expertise to act through to final hearing if required. You can find more information here: tribunal services for employers and tribunal lawyers for employees.
Do you help with disciplinary and grievance procedures?
Absolutely. We advise employers on how to run fair and compliant processes, from investigations through to outcome decisions. For employees, we provide clear guidance on how to raise or respond to a grievance or disciplinary matter, and can support you through every stage.
What is TUPE and when does it apply?
TUPE protects employees when a business or service is transferred to a new employer, such as in a sale, merger or outsourcing. It ensures continuity of employment and terms. We advise employers on TUPE consultation obligations and legal duties and help employees understand their rights and any changes affecting their role, whether the business is moving to Kent or away to another part of the UK.
