Managing employees is an increasingly complex challenge in which any failure to meet legal requirements can lead to severe penalties that can disrupt your business and affect your reputation and profit.

Our leading team of employment solicitors at Clarkson Wright & Jakes can provide practical guidance at every level in your organisation, from supervisors to senior HR staff and directors. They advise on the many important decisions affecting your staff, in ways that are geared to your particular business needs.

Much of our advice helps clients to avoid disputes and tribunal or court claims. But when these are unavoidable, our clients know they have an experienced team to rely on – experts (including those of our lawyers who are skilled advocates) who have successfully handled Employment Tribunal disputes, large and small.

The team is headed by William Addis, who is supported by a team of experienced lawyers, all specialists in employment law. 

The CWJ Employment Team has been praised by Chambers. Read more
