Trade Union & Collective Issues

Specialists in advising employers on trade union, collective issues, industrial relations, works council negotiations, and industrial action.

Overview

Today’s industrial relations landscape is in a state of flux: today’s workforce is more connected, particularly with the prevalence of social media, and the political landscape is undergoing huge change. This, together with planned changes to legislation allowing unions unprecedented access to the workplace and a much easier route towards formal recognition, is having a transformational effect on employee relations.

Through our long and wide-ranging experience in advising on industrial relations, we are uniquely placed at a time of change to steer your business through this dramatically changing landscape.

We take the time to understand your business and risk profile so that we can deliver first-rate industrial relations advice to meet your needs.

Experience

Our team is adept at managing and advising on complex and strategic matters at both a domestic and international level. We advise clients on industrial relations strategies and employee relations issues, trade union recognition and de-recognition, contingency plans for industrial action, injunctions to restrain industrial action, litigation involving trade unions (both in the employment tribunals and High Court including blacklisting), TUPE and collective redundancy consultation with recognised unions, and Works Councils.

Although union membership has declined in recent years, trade unions remain one of the most powerful forces in the world of work. We have a deep practical understanding of their internal politics and priorities.
