Employment Termination
We advise both employers and employees on employment termination.
In the case of employers if they wish to bring an employee’s employment to an end they need to be careful to get detailed advice in advance so they do not fall foul of the employment legislation in dismissing or making redundant an employee. There are a number of pitfalls which an employer can fall into, particularly in relation to long serving employees. These need to be navigated with great care. Blake-Turner has extensive experience in advising on this. We advise on the various options available to employers, including commencing confidential without prejudice discussions under s.111A of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
In relation to employees, Blake-Turner advises employees if they wish to leave their employment, in particular if they have potential claims for constructive dismissal and on their post-termination restrictions such as restrictive covenants. Great care needs to be taken in order not to fall foul of these restrictions and leave themselves open to potential injunctions and/or damages actions.
