Employment law can be split into two areas – contentious services and non-contentious services.

Contentious Employment Law – This area covers situations where a workplace dispute has arisen, and may lead to formal proceedings.This can lead to us supporting you through negotiations, tribunals and court action.

Non-Contentious Employment Law – This is the advisory side of employment law, where there is no dispute. This includes advice on contracts, grievances, disciplinary policy and settlement agreements.

HHD has over 30 years’ experience in dealing with these matters and can provide efficient solutions to address your concerns.
