  • General advice – e.g. conduct of disciplinary investigations; grievance procedures; redundancy programmes; general queries about flexible working, maternity rights, paternity rights, etc.
  • Contributing towards the marketing efforts and other non-fee-earning projects of the department, including assisting in the preparation of and/or speaking at seminars, drafting training programmes, keeping precedents up-to-date, and contributing to Employment Bulletins.
  • There may also be some scope for Corporate support work – e.g. advice on TUPE in connection with transactions; advising on indemnities and warranties; due diligence reports for clients.
