AT FG Solicitors, we make it our business to know your business. We have extensive experience of advising clients across a broad range of commercial sectors on employment law and HR issues. Working closely with our clients, we have developed industry knowledge in a number of specialist areas including food, logistics and education. We have a proven track record in these areas and are aware of the key issues these sectors face on a daily basis, which enable us to provide pragmatic and strategic solutions tailored to the organisation and the industry sector. In addition to our in depth legal knowledge, our outsourced HR professionals can be placed into our clients’ businesses to provide proactive people management on a day-to-day or project specific basis and our Sentinel product allows clients to have 24/7 online access to HR resources. In education, we are aware the landscape is changing and change often meets resistance. We are experienced in planning and project managing large scale restructures, negotiating with unions and advising on the requirements and the implementation of both individual and collective redundancy consultation. Whilst legal compliance is essential, we will look for solutions that ensure the organisation’s goals are achieved. In the food and drinks sector, our experienced team work with a wide range of clients from various backgrounds including food manufacturing, product development, wholesale, retail and catering. The ability to have a flexible work force is a key issue and the issues surrounding agency workers and, more controversially, zero hours contracts are regularly on the agenda. Our awareness of ethical and client audit requirements means that we can advise on suitable documentation and respond quickly should difficulties arise. In the highly regulated logistics sector, we provide bespoke advice on matters such as the application of the Working Time Regulations. We are alive to the risk of whistleblowing claims in relation to health and safety breaches and provide commercial advice on grievances and claims relating to health and safety, as well as preventative policies. Above is just a glimpse of the specialist services we can provide. Have a look at our website for further details and please contact us to discuss our favourite topic – your business.
