Client Testimonials
"Being new in business we were a little nervous about sourcing legal advice. Carole and Matthew showed us great care, really taking the time to understand our business, and gave us confidence by their professionalism. The work was delivered on time within budget and they even did more than originally agreed. We would not hesitate going back to Waterfront"

- Collective redundancies and corporate reorganisations;
- The employment aspects of mergers, acquisitions and outsourcing including the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations (TUPE);

- Day-to-day employment advice on e.g. sickness absence, disciplinary and grievance hearings; implementation of redundancy programmes.
Contentious
Any matter which has resulted in the issue of High Court or Employment Tribunal proceedings would be dealt with as a contentious issue and would include, for example:-
- Employment Tribunal claims for e.g. unfair dismissal, discrimination (e.g. sex, race, age or disability discrimination), public interest disclosure (or "whistleblowing") claims and unlawful deduction of wages; and
- High Court claims for e.g. breach of contract or the enforcement of covenants in restraint of trade.
