Employment

Most businesses need employees.  However, over recent years the burden of employment regulation and legislation has consistently increased to the extent that every prudent business must now actively manage the resulting risks, or pay a high price when things go wrong.

Raworths has a strong presence in the Harrogate market, and impresses with its clear and concise advice on a variety of contentious and non-contentious employment issues. Sources praise the team for providing “succinct advice that cuts through the superfluous details and gets to the nitty-gritty".

 

Chambers Directory 2011

We live in a claims and complaint culture where your staff are aware of their ‘rights’ and they will actively pursue these; if they feel they have grounds to do so.  It is, therefore, essential for businesses to put in place systems and documentation that from the very beginning minimise the inevitable risks, and set out appropriate codes, ground rules and procedures.  Every business is unique and what suits one will not be right for another.

"We have worked with a number of large international legal firms in the past and I have no doubt at all that the service and advice that we received from Deborah and her team could not have been matched.”
