Associated Services
Every business needs basic policies and procedures in place. Having basic rules in the workplace makes certain everyone knows what to do.
Dunn & Baker Solicitors can ensure your employment documentation is taken care of.
Good administration makes running business more straightforward. Having written terms of employment, an employee handbook, proper policies and procedures – like ones that take care of discipline and grievance – makes sure employees know what’s expected of them. And it makes sure you treat people fairly, consistently every time.
Dunn & Baker Solicitors help you get the basics in place. We draft documentation that is bespoke to you. Everything we do is tailored – our employment law specialists make sure they understand your business to best support your needs. All documents are prepared in plain, simple English and not legal jargon. Before we start any work, we will explain the likely timescales and costs. If your administration is out of date, we can update as we go. We can even help you train in new policies and procedures too.
To make certain your administration is sound, contact one of our expert employment experts for your FREE initial consultation.

Some businesses have a Human Resources department and some do not. Knowing there is an expert who can help your business with any Human Resources matter is reassuring. Drafting contracts of employment, writing policies and procedures, advising on or dealing with disciplinary issues, company handbooks and training are all topics a Human Resources service can assist with.

Workplace disputes can often feel like a drain on management time. Dunn & Baker Solicitors help you to deal with them correctly, fairly and in a timely manner.
In almost every workplace, disputes between employers and employees can occur from time to time. As an employer, you’ll want to ensure that disputes don’t impact negatively on your business and wherever possible, it’s best to resolve differences directly with your employees. However, when disputes cannot be resolved internally, you may need to attend an employment tribunal.
Employment tribunals usually comprise a panel that includes an employment judge and two non-legal people who have experience in the world of business. Witnesses may be put forward for both the employer and the employee and after hearing the case, the panel will reach a legally-binding decision.
At Dunn & Baker Solicitors our knowledgeable legal experts are here to guide you through the entire process. We’ll help you avoid a tribunal where possible by finding alternative ways to deal with disputes. If you do need to attend a hearing, we will ensure you are fully prepared – supporting you with everything from documentation to obtaining witness statements. We’ll clearly outline all of your options and responsibilities from the start so that together we can plan the best course of action. We’ll make sure you and your business are represented fairly and will ensure you are informed and in control throughout the process.
Employment law changes regularly and can sometimes seem complex but at Dunn & Baker Solicitors we explain everything in straightforward terms, clearly addressing any concerns you may have.
If you’d like to have an informal conversation to find out what your options are, contact us today for a FREE initial consultation.
The decision to transfer a business is often straightforward. Ensuring the relevant legislation is not forgotten is where Dunn & Baker Solicitors can help.
There are certain legal requirements that have to be observed when a business is transferred. Failure to do so is a problem. Employees are protected and you need to know what this means – what you can do in a transfer and what you cannot. If your business is being transferred, it helps if you know what should happen.
Dunn & Baker Solicitors help many businesses to plan and mange a transfer. Employee rights are paramount in avoiding litigation. Our legal experts can meet with you to listen to what your plans are. We explain what you need to do, and help make it happen. We always explain your options and the issues using plain English. We clearly say what the likely timescales and costs are and if a problem should occur, we are always on hand to help find you a solution.
If you’re involved in a business transfer, contact us today for your FREE initial consultation.
