The Clarke Willmott Employment and Human Resources Team comprises specialist employment lawyers and HR specialists. The team provides a full employment law and HR support service to employers across the country.

The team supports an employer’s key employment goals – to be legally compliant, but at the same time providing commercial solutions. The team is employer focussed and handles all employment related matters including unfair dismissal, redundancy, sex, race, age and disability discrimination, family friendly issues as well as breach of contract claims. We also advise on the sale and purchase of companies/transfer of engagements and mergers including TUPE implications.

All of our lawyers are members of the Employment Lawyer's Association and are regularly involved in Employment Tribunal proceedings. The team includes a number of solicitor advocates. We provide full Employment Tribunal support including advocacy.

Our clients are drawn from a wide range of industry sectors across the UK including the public sector and social housing.

Our team prides itself in offering commercial solutions to an employer’s HR problems. We never lose sight of what good employment law and HR support to a business is all about – attracting, motivating and retaining the best people. We work with our clients to achieve these objectives. We do not therefore over-engineer solutions to employment law and HR issues. On the contrary, we aim to provide simple, but effective, real world solutions. Our sector focussed team has a real understanding of the issues affecting the sector and brings a genuine team approach to problem solving your HR issues in the most pragmatic way.

When tough decisions need to be made we provide the commercial support that delivers the right solutions. We work closely with our clients to understand their business to ensure they have in place an effective HR strategy that really adds value. Unlike most other law firms, our team comprises not only highly experienced employment lawyers, but also specialist HR consultants. The team’s offering is therefore genuinely holistic with the ability to handle all aspects of an organisation’s employment and HR support needs. Our HR consultants often work with an organisation’s existing HR team complimenting the in-house offering and provide support either on a case by case basis or on a project support basis.

Our team also includes specialist advocates enabling us to offer a full and cost effective Employment Tribunal support service.
