Our Employment team of lawyers advise local and international employers on all aspects of employment law, as well as acting for senior employees. 

Our aim is to provide succinct, efficient and practical advice in a professional and friendly manner to all our clients.

Our Jersey and Guernsey lawyers can provide a pan-island service for our clients, which is particularly useful for large employers operating in both Jersey and Guernsey. 

The team deals with both contentious and non-contentious matters including:

• compromise agreements;  
• the enforceability of restrictive covenants; 
• redundancies; 
• representing clients in both the Employment Tribunal and Royal Court of each Island;  
• cross-jurisdictional employment and secondment arrangements;
• business re-organisation, sales and acquisitions (including re-organising terms and conditions of affected employees);
• employee benefit schemes, including share option and pension schemes;
• executive, non-executive and consultancy arrangements; and
• advising on employment related issues such as data protection; health and safety and housing/right to work requirements.

The team prides itself on its all-round service, helping employers to deal with practical as well as legal issues, such as providing guidance on handling disciplinary hearings, and assessing the consequences of dismissal, including the financial and reputational risks.
 
The team also keeps clients informed about changes to employment legislation in the Channel Islands through seminars, email updates and in-house training programmes.
