Team Services

Our qualified and experienced Employment Law team is able to support businesses and individuals in all employment law needs, whether corporate restructuring, redundancies, individual employee employment issues, right through to full Employment Tribunal support and defending appeals.

Employment issues can be highly complex, fast-paced and must react to regular changes in the law. Our employment experts are no strangers to this and part of our service is to keep you informed about any relevant changes that may affect you. We support businesses to create and amend the required contracts, policies and procedures whilst supporting you with any employment issue, payroll query and disciplinary or grievance concern.

Our large team of 9 employment law fee-earners can take on volume matters and still deliver dedicated, personal-led client service. We’re known for our high levels of customer service, knowledge of the law, and skills in handling complex or challenging cases.

Dismissal, redundancy and discrimination issues are just a few of the areas of expertise that our Employment Law team can advise on.

Experts at negotiation, conciliation and mediation, we endeavour to avoid lengthy, costly court hearings. However, with a determination to always achieve the best possible outcome for our client, if court is the answer, our employment litigators support you through Tribunal and Appeal Tribunal Claims. Professional and pragmatic, we will provide you with a realistic and objective perspective on any case, providing an honest opinion as to the best course of action and possible outcomes, so that you are able to make appropriate decisions confidently.

“After using Lawson West I was left extremely happy with the level of service they provided. Specifically Sejal Patel, who, from the moment I spoke to her, till the end (of the matter) handled everything with complete professionalism. Will definitely be using Lawson West again in the future.”

“Thorough and well articulated explanations rearding the appeal process, ‘Negotiation’, ACAS early conciliation, and the lead up to the tribunal itself. I would just like to add my thanks to Sejal and Joao for the help and support throughout the matter. I’ve engaged with the law in a couple of ways over my professional career due to the nature of my work, however, this was my first time being a directly involved party with all the stresses and anxieties – you both were a great support and I can only express gratitude for taking the time to listen to my story and believing in me.”
