Overview

Greene & Greene has three employment experts advising employers and employees on all aspects of employment law.

The firm recognises that, whilst it is vital to be up to date with and ensure compliance with the law, it is equally important to get a business to where it needs to be; if that means the dismissal of an employee, then their job is to help the client to achieve that with the minimum of fuss and comeback, not to obstruct it with reasons why “that cannot be done”.

Many clients frequently return to Greene & Greene testifying that their “get it done” attitude is quite unlike anything they have found elsewhere.

The expanding team regularly advises on;

Terms and conditions & contracts of employment;
Company policies and procedures;
TUPE transfers;
Subject Access Requests;
Redundancy and business reorganisations;
Unfair dismissal;
Discrimination and harassment matters;
Employment tribunals; and
Negotiation of settlement agreements and severance packages with employees and directors.

The team continues to host its annual Employment Law Update (in addition to regular HR Forums), which is attended by over 100 HR practitioners and feedback has classed it as “One of the best ones I have attended.”
