What’s the one area of law that has the potential to cause the biggest headaches?
Well, in Harold Stock’s experience it has to be employment law.
Most people would agree that employment Law can be incomprehensible and extremely complex. It’s in a constant state of flux and the rules and regulations can appear, to anyone who is not closely involved in the area, to be constantly changing. It’s hardly surprising that the majority of employers find this area of law particularly troublesome. Legislative changes and case law have the potential to completely transform the framework in which employers operate, whilst minor omissions or breaches of the rules can result in major consequences. The complexity of this legal discipline means that employers will definitely need the help and expertise of employment law specialists like Harold Stock & Co.
Harold Stock solicitors understand the problems that employers and employees face, and are able to provide specialist employment law advice for both parties. Our team of qualified solicitors take a proactive, hands-on approach in providing commercial and practical solutions to all employment issues. Ideally our aim is to encourage our clients to consult us before problems or claims arise, as obtaining prompt legal advice will often safeguard against the risk of expensive claims being brought against businesses.

Employees are an invaluable asset for any enterprise and are crucial to the future direction and success of the business. However, it’s inevitable that from time to time certain disputes will arise between the employer and employee, often over relatively minor, innocuous issues that could’ve been prevented.

Our solicitors will draw up clear and comprehensive contracts of employment that outline the standards you expect from each of your employees. We can also help your business to construct policies and procedures to help meet the needs of your business, which set out in clear unambiguous terms the roles and duties of both current and future employees.
