About

Provided by Capsticks LLP

As the country’s leading dedicated health, social care and housing firm, Capsticks has a nationally renowned employment practice. We will probably have advised before on most employment challenges that you face, so we can hit the ground running. We will invest time getting to know your organisation inside out, so that our advice is always given in context and practical. We also add value through training, client care visits and tailored financial arrangements.


Our particular expertise lies in representing clients in complex and sensitive employment litigation, in the Employment Tribunal and civil courts. We provide advice to employer organisations on workforce issues including recruitment, contractual terms and conditions, HR policies and practices, managing disciplinary and grievance processes, bullying and harassment, managing sickness absence, equality and diversity, reorganisation and TUPE. Our HR Advisory and consultancy services provide another level of support to clients who seek seamless HR and legal support on projects or cases.


Clients choose Capsticks’ employment team in London for our innovative approach to delivering cost effective, high-quality support and for the strength and depth of our expert team.
