Our expertise
Employment Law
Since the introduction of the Employment Rights Act the law governing the duties and responsibilities of employers and rights of employees has never been so complex. With an uncertain economy and increased levels of stress at work we at Ross Coates Solicitors can assist both employers and employees in dealing with employment related matters.
Our team of commercial lawyers can offer a range of non contentious employment matters to assist both employer and employee, whether that be drafting terms and conditions of employment or advising on redundancy agreements we can advise the employer on how to deal with staff in a considerate economic and legal matter that will prevent any claims before they occur.
Likewise we can advise employees on the terms of their contract of employment and also give guidance on ACAS approved grievance and disciplinary proceedings.
We at Ross Coates Solicitors also understand that for a number of reasons relationships can break down between employer and employee and in that event we can assist in advising in relation to a host of claims including:
- Wrongful dismissal
- Unfair dismissal
- Race discrimination
- Sex discrimination
- Disability discrimination
While we always endeavour to negotiate between the parties we have contact with barrister chambers in Essex and Ipswich and can call upon dedicated employment barristers to assist in advising drafting pleadings and representing clients at employment tribunals.
At Ross Coates Solicitors we deal with all matters on a fixed fee basis, no “by the clock” rates and if we do not achieve a positive outcome for you there will be no charge.
In addition we believe that communication with the client is key to resolution of any matter and we have established infrastructure of direct dials to the fee earner dealing with your particular matter email and text facilities. At Ross Coates Solicitors we make a promise to return all telephone and email communication within 24 hours in order that we can deal with your problem, deal with your concerns as quickly as possible.
