Industrial Relations
With a team of dedicated industrial relations lawyers, we can assist you with complex disputes whilst working with recognised trade unions. We help many household name clients manage strikes, achieve change through collective bargaining, draft collective agreements, handle complex redundancies and TUPE claims and provide comprehensive advice to prevent disputes if they happen.
Overview
Our specialist employee relations unit is here to help you deliver practical solutions to complex trade union issues, whether your organisation faces small-scale industrial challenges or major national strikes. With a proven, trusted approach to employee relations, we have advised many household names and have obtained injunctions to stop several, high-profile national strikes for listed companies.
When collective workforce issues arise, our pragmatic advice puts you in control of your strategy, allowing you to act confidently and decisively from the outset. When you are in a high-pressure situation, we understand you need prompt, concise, and practical advice that aligns with your organisation's key goals. We will be there with you and have years of experience of successfully handling those situations
Our team can help you review the effectiveness of your collective bargaining arrangements and provide timely and robust advice when disputes arise. If your organisation faces change, we can provide a step-by-step guide on minimising risk and achieving that change as smoothly as possible.
