Both employers and employees have rights and duties imposed by law. These laws change sporadically and failure to comply with them can cost both employers and employees a fortune.

 

At EcoM Solicitors, we act for both employers and employees which give us an invaluable insight into workplace issues on both sides.

 

So whether you are setting up a new business, or an established business struggling to comply with the duties imposed on you by the enabling legislations, or an employee who does not understand what rights you are entitled to under the law, contacting EcoM Solicitors will mean you do not need to spend time surfing the internet and getting yourself more confused. Here at EcoM, we endeavour to put your interest in the heart of everything we do.
