Employment Law

With employment law, if you are wondering whether you need expert legal advice, you probably need expert legal advice.

Our specialised and highly skilled team of lawyers can provide that advice in a practical, no nonsense way. The Sherbornes employment team is considered by many to be the leading team in Gloucestershire. The team is highly qualified and has vast experience in not only the senior courts such as the Court of Appeal but practical experience recognised by appointments of individuals to the ACAS board of Arbitration and regularly being asked to comment on employment law for both local and national media.

The team’s policy of recruitment from specialists with practical industrial experience results in a reputation of straightforward and pragmatic advice that recognises that employment law can have multiple competing priorities.
We have earned our reputation as being “No nonsense”.

This creates a team that advises both employers and employees from managing directors of national companies in their personal capacity to organisations such as household names in electrical contracting and the fast food industry.
We accept instructions from those with employment law problems whether they be plumbers or national logistics operations, and we take pride in giving skilled, practical advice.
