About
Provided by Quigg Partners
We ensure our clients are compliant with the law and equipped with cutting edge documentation. Where needed, we can step in to advise on personal grievances and disputes, and appear on your behalf at mediations and before the Courts across all levels.
We cover every aspect of employment law compliance and we are frequently called on to act for clients who are faced with personal grievances or disputes. Quigg Partners can help manage your response to these often stressful issues, from ‘day one’ to mediation, and right through to litigation, if that’s what it takes.
We are also sought-after presenters in all aspects of employment law, and are frequently asked by our clients to provide in-house specialist training or upskilling. Quigg Partners tailors this training to the needs of your business or organisation, working within your policies and procedures.
