GUARDIAN LAW: EMPLOYER LAWYER

A law firm supporting business leaders with complex people challenges through creative commercial advice and effective legal representation since 2006. We do not act for employees but can refer you to other lawyers that do. 

WHAT WE DO

LEGAL STRATEGY Transform your people challenges into strategic opportunities with comprehensive planning, clear timelines, and robust documentation that protects your business interests.
REDUNDANCY & RESTRUCTURE STRATEGY
Facing the need for organizational change but concerned about legal pitfalls? We'll work through every aspect of your restructure or redundancy process, ensuring full legal compliance while minimizing business disruption and maintaining team morale.
EMPLOYEE DISPUTES & EXIT NEGOTIATIONS
Whether you're dealing with a difficult employee situation or seeking to secure your business through enhanced exit terms, let’s explore all your options and handle the complexities. From preparing you for protected conversations to managing settlement agreement formalities, let’s find smooth, legally sound resolutions.

DISMISSALS & RESIGNATIONS WITHOUT THE DRAMA
Not every departure goes according to plan. That’s ok; with decades of experience managing complex exits with precision and discretion, we’ll work together to preserve your employer reputation and peace of mind throughout the process.
TRIBUNAL DEFENSE
Facing an employment claim? We provide comprehensive defence services fro ACAS pre-claim conciliation through to tribunal representation. My approach focuses on robust case preparation, skilled advocacy, and most importantly, minimising disruption to you and your team while achieving the best possible outcome.
TUPE WITHOUT THE HEADACHE
Planning a business acquisition or sale? TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment) regulations can be complex, but I'll ensure you meet all consultation requirements and legal obligations seamlessly. Yes, it's pronounced 'tchoo-pee' – and no, it doesn't have to be complicated.

COSTS

PRACTICAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Transparency in pricing is fundamental to how I work. You'll receive a detailed estimate or fixed fee proposed before we begin any project. I offer flexible arrangements including ad-hoc support or cost-effective retained services, with options for fee caps and convenient monthly payment plans. 

Retained clients can also access legal expenses insurance to cover tribunal costs, settlements, and compensation awards provided you've followed my strategic advice, of course.
