Employment

Overview

Today employing people can be very costly and time consuming and with constant involvement from Europe, employment legislation is in a continuous state of change. Keeping up-to-date for the average owner-managed business can be like fighting a losing battle.

Proactive advice and pre-emptive action is essential for employers and employees alike.

Our approach is practical, straightforward and ‘can-do’. Committed to delivering results, we get to know you and your business in order that we can provide creative legal solutions and guidance that are cost effective.

We are only too aware of the real-time advice sometimes required when HR issues arise in the workplace and as such we place great importance on keeping in touch with clients; providing ready access to legal advice that is delivered in a dynamic and innovative way. Ultimately our aim is to work alongside you, regularly providing advice when you need it most. This is done through our specialist team of lawyers and our SYNC HR service

The Team offer regular employment training sessions for business owners and HR professionals, which can be completely tailored to the requirements of the business in question; and run a twice yearly programme of Updater Seminars on new legislation and procedures coming into force. Alongside this we distribute a quarterly on-line Employment Law newsletter, to ensure you have all of the legal information you need to tackle HR and Employment centred issues in your workplace.

Employment legal support is now very much in demand and in order to protect employers against employee claims we have created our own insurance-backed employer support product called FIREguard, which may be suitable for your business needs. Please contact Jo Cope on 01902 702066 or employment@fbcmb.co.uk to find out more about FIREguard and other HR support packages we offer.
