Employers
Our business clients come in all shapes and sizes, from large national corporations with multiple sites and hundreds of employees through to charities, small local businesses and start-ups. Each of these businesses receives exactly the same level of care, attention to detail and commitment from the team at Sherbornes.
We appreciate that what’s right for a multinational business, might not be right for a small business owner.
Each business that comes to us with a wide range of problems and concerns, ranging from complex contract negotiations and challenging dismissals, to mediation, arbitration, internal disputes, redundancies and restructuring. We recognise that many businesses don’t come to work to practise employment law. Employment issues are a distraction that deflects from the true purpose of a business, which is making money.
We never sit on the fence, but we do work both sides of it by also acting for employees. This benefits all of our business clients as it gives us a broad understanding of what everyone wants to achieve, what is likely to be practical and what will deliver the speedy and positive outcomes a business need.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of services we provide to employers.
-
Have you ever wished you had an experienced Lawyer sat next to you? Someone you could discuss your HR issues with, without getting a bill. Now you can! Learn more about our fixed price retainer here

We believe contracts and policies should help the business to do business and we object to the business existing to make HR policies a reality. Through consultation, we can help you structure contracts and terms and conditions as robust and “fit to purpose” as you need them to be.
-
If you are looking to protect your intellectual property or even your business contacts, we have the expertise and the capability to assist you in achieving your objectives.

If your business ownership is changing, you are acquiring a business yourself, or if you have won a contract, then you need to understand that the employees may be protected under the Transfer of Undertakings regulations (TUPE). We can help you understand the risks you will take on and how to mitigate them.
-
Litigation can be very time consuming and can cause distress to the day to day operation of the firm. We have extensive experience dealing with business restrictions and restrictive covenants and we are here to give you as much support as you may need, whether that be in the High Court or in the Employment Tribunal.
-
Although we would love to help you with any problems you might be dealing with, we are firm believers in the philosophy that “prevention is better than a cure”. We offer employers and HR managers a variety of courses to choose from. You can learn more about the courses here or you can give us a call to discuss your needs.
-
If your business is about to go through a re-organisation or restructure, you will want to do everything you can to achieve this as smoothly as possible. We are here to offer you a safe pair of hands and to guide you through every step of the process, providing all the documents you may need and a hand to hold.
-
We have unrivalled experience in consulting and negotiating with trade unions, setting up mechanisms for collective bargains and advising on issues of trade union recognition.
-
Senior staff bring their own challenges, whether it is fiduciary duties or avoiding the damage of a senior person who is not fitting in. We are widely experienced in this area and we can help you overcome these challenges.
If you can’t find what you are lookng for, it doesn’t mean we don’t do it.
