Employment
Employment law is one of the fastest developing areas of law in the UK. The legal positions of both employees and employers change constantly through new legislation and case law developments. With employees’ increasing awareness of their rights, employing staff is a potential minefield for employers from the smallest family-run company to the largest multinational institution.
