Are you an Employer?
With employment law changing so frequently, we are mindful that employers may find it hard to keep up to date with the latest regulations. Yet employment law is currently more complex than it has ever been, as a result of the courts, changes in legislation, the European Union and now Brexit.

The last few years have seen such a radical change in unfair dismissal compensation, new forms of discrimination, changing time limits and now the General Data Protection Regulations. Who knows what changes the next 10 years will bring?

The question is how do you keep on top of these when your priority is running a successful business, not stressing about employment law?

If you are finding that even the basic but essential tasks, such as reviewing your contracts and staff handbook are taking a back-seat, then it’s time to consider your position.
This is where we come in:
With increasing and evolving regulation, leading to costly disputes and penalties if ignored, as an employer, your liabilities are potentially considerable. Expert legal advice tailored to suit your requirements is therefore a wise investment.

It doesn’t matter what type of size or business you run, we can help take these challenges off your shoulders, whilst aiming to keep costs as manageable as possible, throughout the course of our work for you. By way of legal advice, we offer practical and ‘hands-on’ support to solving your employment-related problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does an employment law solicitor do?

  • How to find a good employment solicitor?

    When selecting employment solicitors, look for specialist experience, clear communication, transparent fees, and success in tribunal cases. Foster Legal combines deep legal expertise with affordable, client-centred service focused on low-income individuals.

    Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case and the services required. Foster Legal offers competitive rates, clear cost breakdowns, and fixed-fee options for certain matters to ensure transparency. As a community-focused firm, Foster Legal also supports individuals on low income or benefits, making quality legal advice more accessible to everyone.

  • Does the employer have to provide a written contract?

    Yes, employers must provide a written statement of employment terms on or before the first day of work. This document should clearly state the employee's pay, working hours, notice period, and other essential details. Foster Legal ensures these contracts meet legal standards and protect employee rights.


  • What is a settlement agreement, and is legal advice required?

    A settlement agreement formally ends employment under agreed terms, usually involving financial compensation. The law requires employees to receive independent legal advice before signing.
