Employment law
This service is for all schools and academies.
What the service provides
The employment law service is available directly to schools and academies in the city. You can contact our lawyers on all employment law matters (including performance, grievances, disciplinaries, allegations of discrimination, tribunal claims, settlement agreements, TUPE transfers, matters arising out of LADO meetings and more).
Paul, Charlotte and Paulette will give you prompt, practical and expert legal advice and support on all employment issues affecting your school.
Our solicitors are available to you when you need them by telephone, email and in person.
Full terms available on request.
