Employment

Ronald Mackay, Employment
Our award winning employment team advises on all aspects of employment law, including discrimination, unfair dismissal, contracts and policy documentation, trade union disputes and recognition, change management, disciplinary hearings, absence and performance management and TUPE related issues.

At Burness, we advise some of the largest and best-known employers in the country, including the Gala Coral Group, ITN, Absolute Radio, Highland Spring and Baxters Food Group.  We have impressive credentials in the retail, hospitality, sport, media, construction, education, financial services and public sectors.

Our clients have a good working relationship with our employment lawyers and see us as part of their team. We speak their language - and  make it our business to get to know theirs, tailoring our advice to fit the world they work in.

We would rather workplace disputes were avoided in the first place, so mediation and training are integral to how we deliver. Results are the hallmark of our approach, which is why our employment law training modules provide real-time learning for managers, bringing legal issues to life in interactive workshops which include filmed scenarios and role-play.
