STRATEGIC HR ADVICE

Providing strategic HR advice to multi-national employers, and in particular US, German and other European businesses, and advice on day to day employment law issues in the UK, is a core part of our practice.

We cover the full range of employment law issues that typically arise for overseas companies with UK employees. This includes assisting with new contracts, advising on maternity and parental leave issues, internal investigations and disciplinary and grievance matters, as well as handling discrimination and whistle-blowing complaints, and employee exits.

We take time to get to know our clients and their business. We build long-term relationships with them over many years. Our advice is always focused not only on our client’s legal and strategic options but also the client’s preferred commercial outcome and the practical reality of the particular matter.

For more information on the HR advice we can provide for employers, please contact Merrill April.
