Supporting businesses to deal with trade union recognition and derecognition, pay negotiations, industrial action and strike mitigation, collaborative training and formal consultation regarding TUPE and redundancies.

Industrial / Employee Relations

Horizon Solicitors have years of experience of dealing with trade unions, including union recognition claims, derecognition actions by employers, CAC applications, pay negotiations, ACAC conciliation and arbitration, threats of industrial action, actual industrial action and strike mitigation, collaborative training, negotiation around changing terms and conditions, relationship mapping and building, and formal consultation regarding TUPE and redundancies.

We understand the important differences between notification, consultation and negotiation, and when the law requires a certain level of involvement. This enables us to be steadfast in our approach to situations where we can resist the pressure to dilute your position if it is not a legal requirement. By being one step ahead, we are able to preserve your position and drive towards your business goals, whilst maintaining trust and integrity in the process and the relationship.

Similarly, we can support any process requiring consultation with staff forums / representatives, which any business with more than 20 employees should introduce to give voice to non-unionised employees.

Let us face the new Horizon together.
