Our Employment law team is headed by Steven Eckett and Chris Marshall.

Meaby&Co Employment Law

Meaby & Co has experienced employment solicitors who can assist both businesses and individuals with their day-to-day employment needs.

Our team offers practical, legal advice and creates strategies which are all aimed at resolving disputes at an early stage to try to avoid an escalation of costs.

Businesses

Employment Law Advice For Businesses

We are able to support businesses by ensuring that strong contracts of employment tailored to the needs of the organisation and that up-to-date policies and procedures are in place. We also advise on various processes including disciplinary and grievances and individual or collective redundancies.

Our employment solicitors are able to assist with the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations in the event of buying or selling a business that has existing employees and can provide advice and support in managing the employment relationship to ensure that it is successful.

Meaby&Co realises that sometimes the employment relationship can break down and our employment solicitors can advise on dealing with difficulties in the work-place and terminating the arrangements with minimal risk and exposure.

Whilst we cannot always prevent employment tribunal claims from being issued, we are best placed to assist businesses in managing and defending those proceedings.

We can also advise on the implementation and enforceability of restrictive covenants to protect the business and its client relationships.

Employees

Employment Law Advice For Employees

Our employment solicitors also have a proven track record of successfully representing individual claimants in a wide variety of sectors .

These are often in circumstances where they have been unfairly dismissed, or have been subjected to unlawful discrimination; for example based on their sex, marital status, race, age, disability, religion and belief or sexual orientation.

Sometimes our individual clients are unlawfully dismissed after they have made a protected disclosure known as whistleblowing and we have particular expertise in dealing with these cases. We also have huge experience in helping employees who have been bullied, harassed or have simply fallen out with their line manager.

We are also experts in issuing employment tribunal claims, as well as assisting with mediation and dispute resolution with the aim of quickly settling disputes.

Many of our individual clients are sometimes issued with settlement agreements as part of an exit strategy and this is an area where our employment solicitors can provide assistance and, in some circumstances, can negotiate a better deal.

Cases

Recent Employment Law Cases

Recently we successfully defended an Employer at an employment tribunal against claims for race and religious discrimination and have also successfully brought a claim on behalf of a female high net worth individual who was the subject of pregnancy discrimination.

Increasingly we are also being instructed on the issue of worker status in the gig economy and are advising a number of businesses and individuals on status and associated rights based on the reality of the relationship that has been created or that is planned.

Meaby & Co’s employment solicitors can assist with everything across the employment spectrum from recruitment to termination and beyond. In our experience it is best to seek timely advice as opposed to letting events escalate where it might then be more difficult and costly to deal with.

Tribunal fees, what next?

It is now some 6 weeks since the Government was forced to abandon employment tribunal fees following the success of Unison in challenging their legality all the way to the Supreme Court, which overturned the previous High Court and Court of Appeal rulings.

We are so happy to have been assigned Marie Waters and her Legal support Chloe Castle.Marie is a true professional, who provided us with so much valuable advice. It was our first time buying a property and she ensured to attend to all of our questions and support us throughout every step. We have now completed on the property and we could not have asked for better solicitors. Thank you Marie (and Chloe)!

Meaby & Co were recommended by a friend as I wanted a good London based solicitor to manage my property purchase on the coast. They were excellent and correspondence from Marie Waters and Chloe Castle was always swift, clear and helpful. I would highly recommend this firm and will use them again in future. Many thanks

Peter Russell and Nicky Cleightonhills at Meaby and Co have dealt with four purchases and three sales for us in the last six years - and if that doesn't speak for itself, some of these were very complicated transactions. We shopped around on price and they are among the cheapest, and they are never (as lots of lawyers are!) slow to respond or needed chasing. Nicky Cleightonhills in particular went above and beyond the call of duty time and time again to make sure we were informed and advised - and there's a big difference! Truly a lawyer who earned every damn penny of the fee. Couldn't recommend more highly to anybody at any level of transaction.

Beth has been very supportive throughout our purchase. She and the team did a great job at keeping us informed, with rapid back and forth between all parties involved. The sale has been quicker thanks to her, and also considering this all happened during Covid-19. We're very happy we chose Meaby & Co.

I was assigned Steven Eckett for legal support with an employer. He was extremely helpful, informative and efficient. It was really comforting to have someone "in my corner" that I felt was really committed to getting me the best result in a trying situation. I cannot thank him enough for his patience, passion and transparency in helping me. Would highly recommend him to anyone that is seeking employment related legal advice!

Ive just used Nicky Cleightonhills and her team at Meabys for a lease extension and they've done a very thorough job while my landlords were difficult and borderline rude at times. My emails were responded to promptly and we got there in the end. I can't fault them even though I could have completed sooner but we had to get to the bottom of my landlords name change among other issues. I would recommend to anybody. Well done.

I would highly recommend Meaby & Co. In particular Marie (Chigwell office), who dealt with our flat sale and house purchase. Marie was fantastic and was always one step ahead, she answered queries quickly and did everything she could to get to completion as quickly as possible. On top of being great at what she does, Marie was also lovely to deal with. Thank you. Bea Puleston
