Rubric Law’s employment team advises businesses and individuals across the full range of employment law, helping to create strong contractual foundations, resolve disputes, and manage legal risk throughout the employment relationship.
Our employment solicitors provide end-to-end support for employers, from drafting compliant and commercially robust employment contracts, handbooks, and policies, to advising on disciplinary processes, grievances, and termination strategies. We ensure you are protected and confident in your approach to HR and people management, no matter the size or complexity of your organisation.
Where Rubric truly stands out is in the employment aspects of mergers and acquisitions. We regularly advise on TUPE transfers, redundancy planning, and harmonisation of terms and conditions in the context of business sales, corporate reorganisations, and management buyouts. Our team works seamlessly with our corporate lawyers to identify employment risks during due diligence, structure employee-related warranties and indemnities, and support post-completion integration. In larger or multi-jurisdictional transactions, this joined-up expertise is essential for ensuring compliance and maintaining workforce stability.
We also advise on senior executive exits, including negotiating complex settlement agreements, addressing restrictive covenants, and protecting business interests during and after transitions. Where relationships break down, our team is experienced in handling employment tribunal claims, negotiating confidential settlements, and guiding clients through high-stakes disputes with minimal disruption to the business.
As a full-service law firm, we combine employment expertise with deep knowledge in commercial, corporate, and property law. This holistic approach is particularly valuable when employment issues arise as part of wider projects or strategic decisions. Whether you’re restructuring your workforce, acquiring a business, or navigating a sensitive employee matter, Rubric offers the legal clarity and commercial perspective you need.
If you have any questions regarding any of our services, please get in touch.
We’re extremely proud of our 5 star rating
