Led by employment law specialist Sìne Garvie-McInally and Head of Commercial Paul Sheerin, the service aims to help employers avoid potential legal minefields – and claims – in an increasingly complex area of law. 

The Hawkins team offers advice and implementation on putting in place effective contracts of employment;  dealing with disciplinary issues and avoiding tribunal claims;  and advising on tax efficient methods of remuneration. 

The team also has extensive experience of managing employment tribunal litigation and settling claims discreetly and cost effectively. 

Employers interested in purchasing an annual “retainer” package should contact Paul Sheerin for a no-obligation quote.  A retainer will not cover claims or potential claims of which an employer is already aware, but will provide a full legal employment law support service on a first year basis (prices will vary on the amount of input required and number of employees) and then on an annually recurring basis.

“Essentially this gives employers the peace of mind that comes with knowing they have only to pick up the phone to get expert advice on issues relating to their employees,” says Sìne Garvie-McInally.

Sìne Garvie-McInally holds an MA in Employment Law from UEA and has many years’ experience advising commercial organisations.  Paul Sheerin is the Head of Commercial at Hawkins and has wide experience in advising  individuals and companies in both contentious and non-contentious matters.

The team also advises senior management and directors on personnel contractual and termination issues.
