Employment
The employment team at Hay & Kilner is experienced in dealing with all aspects of employment law, both contentious and non-contentious, leaving our clients free to do their work without worry.
- We have vast experience in conducting Tribunal and Court proceedings, including conducting our own advocacy and obtaining injunctions for employers who need a quick resolution to their problems.
- We can see both sides of the fence, managing cases from both a legal and commercial perspective.
- We provide regular advice to employers on day-to-day HR matters. This enables us to provide pro-active pre-dismissal advice and gives us the opportunity to diagnose problem areas early on so that we can give employers advice on the best way to manage a situation from the outset.
- The unit regularly advises on the employment aspects of business acquisitions and disposals, and on TUPE.
- We provide guidance to Companies and/or outgoing directors in the negotiation and settlement of a director's compensation package and in respect of a director's restrictions on their future trading activities.
- Businesses can receive a production and renewal service, of all employment documentation. This includes terms and conditions of employment and staff handbooks, which include employment policies such as equal opportunities, internet use, maternity leave etc.
- We draft various documents for employers such as service agreements, compromise agreements and documents for employers to follow throughout a redundancy process.
- Our regular seminars and email bulletins mean that our clients have the most up to date information to hand.

Recommended in Chambers 2008, a guide to the legal profession:
"A 'reliable and good-value service' is provided by this firm's employment team, which acts for employers who have been falling foul of the DDA, race and sex discrimination regulations, as well as those involved in reorganisations and redundancies. 'They will do their utmost to keep you out of the tribunals in the first place' adds one client'."
The Legal 500 Guide 2008 recommends Hay & Kilner's employment team:
"Neil Dwyer at Hay & Kilner has overseen the firm's increased involvement in heavyweight projects. A diverse range of employer clients, drawn from the transport, construction and health sectors, welcome the broad but specialist employment service it provides. It is particularly strong in significant tribunal work and was involved in one of the first cases to be piloted under the Judicial Mediation Scheme in London."
