Our industrial relations team works with employers across a number of different sectors in relation to their trade union relationships. Our in-depth understanding of trade unions, together with the importance of maintaining good relationships with unions, places us in the unique position of being able to advise our clients on how to manage and improve their relationships with their unions.
We can help them to avoid discussions and any disagreements turning into full scale disputes. Where disputes do occur, we are experienced in assisting in their resolution.
Our employment lawyers regularly advise clients on a wide range of trade union related matters, including trade union recognition and drawing up recognition and collective bargaining agreements. We help clients to manage collective consultation, whether in relation to TUPE or to collective redundancies.
