Most tribunal claims start with a manager improvising.
The law expects a fair process, and fair process is delivered by line managers which needs the disciplinary hearing run properly, the grievance taken seriously, the absence conversation handled without creating a discrimination claim.
Most managers have never been shown how, and the cost of that gap is measured in settlements. Training is also evidence of the reasonable steps you have taken, which matters directly in harassment and discrimination claims.
We train managers and HR teams on the situations that generate legal risk.
Typical sessions cover:
- running disciplinary and grievance processes;
- managing performance and absence without creating claims;
- recruitment and interviewing without discrimination;
- handling harassment complaints and the preventative duty;
- difficult conversations and what to put in writing; and
- what the Employment Rights Act 2025 changes for managers in practice.
Sessions are scenario-led and specific: what to say, what to record, and when to stop and take advice. They run remotely or in person, with materials and an attendance record so the training is evidenced. For data protection training, see GDPR Training under Data Protection Compliance.
Our Approach
Legal advice that makes running and growing your business easier.
We start with your business, not the law.
Before we open a document, we want to understand what you are trying to do commercially. The legal answer is only useful if it serves that.
We get to the point.
You get a clear view of what matters and what does not, in plain English, with the real risks separated from the noise.
We give you an answer.
Not a menu of options and a shrug. We tell you what we would do, why, and where there is a genuine judgment call for you to make.
We stay available.
Whether you work with us on a single project or on a subscription, we are here for the follow-up question. We would always rather you asked.
