Employment law is constantly changing. Although a school's workforce is its major asset, it has also the potential to be a huge liability. We have one of the largest Employment Law teams in the region and therefore can advise on a range of specialist employment law issues for schools including:

  • discipline, suspension and grievance
  • poor performance
  • recruitment
  • employment contracts, policies and procedures
  • severance/redundancy/dismissal
  • Employment Tribunal and court claims
  • discrimination
  • ill-health
  • alternative dispute resolution - employment mediation and the defence of complex litigation
  • pensions
  • TUPE
  • reorganisations
  • employment relations
  • working time and holidays
  • business immigration
  • family friendly rights including flexible working
  • Vigil, which is a fixed-cost anxiety-free employment risk management service developed by Blake Lapthorn in conjunction with Temple Legal Protection Limited.
