Employment Law, Maidenhead - Colemans Solicitors

As an employer, you already know that your people are your most important asset and want to develop and protect them. As an employee, you strive to do the best you possibly can for your employer. That’s a great foundation for your working relationship.

However, in recent years, there have been significant changes in Employment Law – influenced by Brussels and EU Law – which have changed, perhaps more than in any other area of law, the rules governing relationships between employers and employees. Whether you’re an employer or an employee, it’s not always practical or necessary for you to worry about shifting legislation, so consult Colemans. We’ll give you sound and relevant legal advice and draft documentation that not only complies with legal obligations but also provides a strong framework for your working relationships.

Our lawyers are certainly highly qualified and experienced in the most complex of cases but they’re equally friendly and approachable. When you work with us you’ll get the benefit of City experience delivered in a way that will make sense, and secure the best possible outcome. You’ll also build a relationship with your solicitor that will be open and reliable.

Disputes between employers and employees do happen and when they do, end either in a Settlement Agreement or an Employment Tribunal ruling. We have the experience required to advise both employers and employees on the strengths and weaknesses of their position, and to manage and represent them at all stages, including at an Employment Tribunal.

Denise was invaluable in helping me through being made redundant, the service that I was provided from her and the team was excellent and extremely swift, as I had a small window to complete all paperwork and have it returned to my employers within four days, especially as we are in a Covid pandemic.

I certainly would recommend using these solicitors, you will not be disappointed at the level of guidance and professionalism you will receive, Denise walked me through all the process together with the documentation in full, this made it so easy for me to understand and she answered all my questions no matter how trivial.

Jackie Scrace

As part of a recent unexpected redundancy process I had the need to find a solicitor with employment law experience, but on a very short timeline. My initial contact with Colemans was on a Thursday, following an initial consultation I decided to have them act on my behalf and over the course of the next 36 hrs I found their support to be exemplary, quick responses, clear advise and ultimately a quick resolution to the process, which was what I wanted. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Denise to anyone going through a redundancy or other employment law issue.

Chris Davies

Denise provided excellent advice and support on an employment contract issue. She provided a high level of service and I would not hesitate in recommending her to others.

Roger Ramsden

Denise was thoroughly professional in assisting and advising me at short notice and with a degree of urgency. She had appraised all the documentation prior to our meeting, identified questions to explore for clarification, was sympathetic to my needs and guided me through the process with efficiency and reassurance. In liaising with my employer she was effective in negotiating agreement to three out of four of my requests. The whole process was completed in a day and a half from first meeting to successful conclusion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Denise to resolve employment issues.
