Protect your organisation. Treat people involved fairly.
Employment law is relevant across the UK and establishes straightforward legal obligations for every employer. The contracts, policies and everyday decisions need to comply with the law and to be applied consistently throughout your organisation. We offer a full range of employment law services to businesses located in Cambridge and across the region, offering employers straightforward employment law advice and practical steps that can be implemented straight away. Our dedicated solicitors in Cambridge are committed to exceptional client care.
Why Employment Law Services Matters
Good practice begins with documentation that complies with the law and procedures that people involved can rely on when under pressure to perform. If policies and practice become outdated or records unkept, it is more likely employment disputes will arise, and time is then lost to investigations and legal dispute resolution. This is where our practical advice is essential.
At Key Group Services we provide practical advice concerning actual workplace employment issues and not as a matter of theory. You will receive legal advice on what the law states and what your managers need to do next, keeping employees on track with fair treatment and control of risk. Our solicitors in cambridge act with your business needs in mind. This dedication to best practice sets us apart from other firms.
Our Employment Law Services Range
Our full range of employment law services includes targeted advice and support.
Contracts, Policies and Handbooks
We draft and review employment contracts, handbooks and policies to ensure they are compliant with existing employment law. Work will entail contract terms, restrictive covenants, confidentiality, family leave, conduct, and procedures that stand up at tribunal hearings. We cover all aspects of employment law.
Disciplinary, Grievance and Investigations
We provide advice upon compliance around fair workplace investigations, disciplinary hearings and appeal hearings. Templates for letters, notes and outcomes will ensure a consistent approach to meetings and decisions, compliant with the law. We deal with sensitive employment issues in an efficient manner, and can shadow HR teams.
Redundancy, Restructuring and TUPE
We advise employers on the procedure for redundancy consultations, selection criteria and communications. Records will demonstrate how decisions were made and how employees were treated fairly, minimising legal dispute risk.
Discrimination and Workplace Behaviour
We provide advice on discrimination, harassment and victimisation, including reasonable adjustments and manager training. Having clear procedures will assist the company in dealing with employment issues raised. Our solicitors have in depth knowledge of these matters.
Settlement Agreements and Negotiated Exits
We draft settlement agreements and compromise agreements, and provide advice on the strategy, terms, and tax treatment. We will also negotiate where appropriate and supervise the signing of the settlement agreement so both parties understand it. We deal with all personal and legal aspects of settlement agreements.
Employment Tribunal Representation
We will represent employers at the employment tribunal, draft pleadings, witness statements and bundles, and provide guidance on the merits of the case. We have substantial experience in litigation up to the high court. Support will include unfair dismissal, discrimination, wage claims, whistleblowing, and any related employment tribunal claims. Our lawyers act to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients at the tribunal.
Advisory Clinic Sessions
We offer employment advisory clinic sessions to line managers and HR teams at our central cambridge office or virtually. They will be scheduled, confidential, and relevant to the current employment law matters. Regular clinic time will help to answer questions before they become disputes and claims.
Training and Briefings
We offer short briefings on any new law and case law updates. Topics could include unfair dismissal, discrimination, settlement agreements, investigations, and record keeping. We provide full support for all your employment training needs.
