Bates Wells Braithwaite is a full service commercial city law firm working with a wide range of clients, large and small, across a variety of sectors – from established businesses, charities and social enterprises to innovative start-ups and high-profile individuals.
The firm’s Employment Department is a team of 11 lawyers, and is ranked by Legal 500 and Chambers UK as a leader in its field. Unlike most city firms, clients include both employers and employees, making our lawyers better placed to consider workplace disputes from all angles and to facilitate cost-effective and pragmatic solutions. The team has considerable experience in all areas of employment law, but what sets us apart is our ability to translate this into specific and practical advice, recommendations and action plans for our clients. The department has developed particular expertise in the law surrounding employment status of atypical workers, such as agency and casual workers, and we have an in-depth understanding of the tax implications for employers using an atypical workforce. Our growing client-base in these areas puts Bates Wells Braithwaite at the forefront of legal services for the ever-changing modern workplace.
We routinely conduct our own advocacy, which enables the same expert lawyer to manage and articulate a case from start to finish, providing a seamless ‘telephone to tribunal’ service. We also have extensive expertise in mediation, including judicial mediation, and the team includes a CEDR-accredited mediator.
Our aim is to provide practical, effective advice to both employers and employees in relation to all areas of employment law. We support employer clients with a range of services designed to meet your specific requirements, including training packages and mock Employment Tribunals.
