- Section 75 Equality Schemes and public sector equality duties
- drafting contractual documentation and advising on appropriate policy documents
- restraint of trade provisions and enforcement by injunction
- company restructuring and redundancy programmes
- discipline, termination, executive severance packages and binding settlements
- employment due diligence in mergers and acquisitions
- TUPE consultation and transfers
- Northern Ireland’s Fair Employment legislation
- Defending discrimination claims, responding to statutory questionnaires and managing grievance/harassment investigations
- acting on behalf of clients in breach of contract claims, claims for unfair dismissal and all other claims within the remit of the Industrial Tribunals
CFR offers clients, many of whom are businesses and lawyers operating in other UK jurisdictions, guidance on the differences in employment law which exist in Northern Ireland and practical advice on measures which should be taken.
