Employment advice
Partners Selene Holden and Chris Thomson advise both employers and employees on all aspects of Employment Law, and regularly appear at Employment Tribunals. Clients look to them to give quick, accurate advice on individual situations as they develop. They are supported by lawyer Fiona Hirst.
Since Selene and Chris are employers themselves they also recognise that, whilst it is important to comply with the law, it is equally important to get a business to where it needs to be; if that means the dismissal of an employee then their job is to help the client to achieve that with the minimum of fuss and comeback, not to obstruct it with reasons why “that cannot be done”.
Some of our clients have used Insurance Companies and Consultants offering help lines for a fixed annual fee; they then return to Greene & Greene saying that our “get it done” attitude is quite unlike anything they have found elsewhere; insurers who advise to take no action “in case there is a claim” even when the business is in desperate need of change.
We also act for employees and directors, typically in the negotiation of compromise agreements and severence packages.
Each autumn Selene and Chris also present a free annual seminar to update clients and other local employers on changes in this area of the law.
