Family-friendly rights

Approach

Our employment lawyers will support you in drafting parental leave policies that cover maternity, paternity, shared parental leave, adoptive leave, time off for dependents, flexible working and notification periods.

Where required, our Employment team can provide training, either remotely or on-site, to enable you to deal with any grievances or issues that may arise in maternity or paternity situations and to ensure that you feel confident in dealing with parental leave requests.

Our employment law experts continually develop their knowledge of updates to parental leave legislation to enable them to help you to minimise the number of parental leave disputes that you face and to ensure a smooth transition back into the workplace for your employees.
