We are experts in the design and development of appropriate and targeted restrictions. Our wider Commercial Litigation team also has specialists in high court litigation and are able to take any necessary steps to enforce restrictions.

We often find that employers are unclear on when and where they can draw the line with unions and union representatives and are unsure on what they can and cannot demand in return.

We work with many unionised businesses and have extensive experience of helping employers handle relations with their employees and deal with threats of industrial action.

We assist businesses with their trade union recognition strategy and with any compulsory recognition applications to the Central Arbitration Committee.

We can also draft, negotiate, and interpret collective agreements and consultation agreements and help you understand what your rights are when demands are placed upon your business.
