Employment law solicitors ELP Arbutnott McClanachan

Our Employment Law Practice represents small and medium-sized businesses and charities with interests in Edinburgh, the Lothians and across Scotland.

We provide advice to employers on the entire range of employment law issues. Our specialist employment lawyers are based in our East and West Edinburgh offices, and of course, we visit our clients at their premises if that is appropriate in the circumstances. Our clients will always benefit from dealing directly with one of our employment law solicitors who is responsible for and does the work on their file. Providing excellent customer service from one dedicated point of contact is particularly important to us.

At ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan we fully appreciate that employment law advice is not the first thing that employers wish to spend their money on! However, it is a fact of life that employment law does impose a large number of obligations on employers, and we see it as our job to help employers deal with this in the most productive way possible, in the hope that this will ultimately have a positive effect on their business and their staff. We believe that if employers are willing to take our advice in relation to how matters such as employment contracts, disciplinary and grievance procedures, equal opportunities, restructuring, and retirement should be approached, this will result in benefits to their business in the long run.

Our advice can save employers thousands of pounds by protecting them from Employment Tribunal claims. Our advice in relation to contracts and policies can make it far easier for employers to deal with problem employees in the future. We are happy to assist employers with employment law issues which have already arisen in the workplace, but we would also encourage employers to take our advice at an earlier stage in the hope that this can prevent costly issues from arising in the future. We firmly believe in the theory that it is worth spending a penny now with a view to saving a pound later!

Our Employment Law Practice offers our employer clients the whole range of employment law services, and a range of attractive options for employment law fees, in order that our clients can take as much or as little employment law advice as they need. Whether you are looking for one-off advice on a particular employment law question, advice or and representation on a particular project or dispute, or ongoing advice and representation with fixed fees, our Employment Law Practice can help. We are confident that we offer our employer clients the best possible combination of expert advice and real value for money.

If you feel that we can be of assistance in relation to any employment law matter please feel free to telephone or email us in the first instance. Please rest assured that we understand that the majority of employers do not have unlimited funds to spend on legal fees. For this reason, we have developed a unique discounted employment law package for employers, which is designed to provide excellent value for money and a constant advice link with our firm. We also offer fixed fees for specific pieces of work as required. More details are provided on our fees page.

Free Employment Law Healthcheck for Employers

We also offer new employer clients in Edinburgh and the Lothians a free Employment Law Healthcheck! This allows our clients to find out straight away, and with no obligation at all, whether they should be making improvements to their employment contracts, policies and procedures, and also to discuss any current employment law issues that they currently have to find out what our Employment Law Practice can do to help.

We pride ourselves in giving our employer clients quality employment law advice in a way that is pragmatic and helps the client achieve a swift and satisfactory solution. We do not waste time and money on matters which are not going to assist our clients. We use our employment law experience to advise our clients in the best possible way. We also represent employees, and as a result, we are in a relatively unusual position of being able to give employers informed advice on how an employee is likely to proceed. We believe that our advice can really add value and save our clients a great deal of time and expense in any employment law matter. If you would like to speak to us about any employment law matter please do contact us through our website, or call one of our Edinburgh offices.

I was a Managing Director of an acquired business, going through a long protracted settlement agreement when I approached Duncan McFadzean and his ELP team at Arbuthnott McClanachan to take over my case as there had been an issue with the initial firm of lawyers I had engaged. Duncan very quickly got up to running speed with my case and managed it very pragmatically with great control. He judged his approach with me absolutely perfectly and always explained clearly and concisely, the different courses of action with his recommendations. I have used many different employment lawyers throughout the years, (both for the business and for myself), but have never found a more complete professional approach than the ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan experience. I cannot recommend their services enough. Simply fantastic, thank you!
Don’t go anywhere else, just use the ELP team at Arbuthnott McClanachan, great service and great results!

We are a two partner law firm who do not specialise in Employment law. We have referred a number of our clients to Duncan McFadzean at ELP and those clients have always expressed their satisfaction at the work which ELP have done for them. We have also used ELP for any advice and guidance which we ourselves have required as a firm and have always found that advice to be accurate and tailored to our particular needs. ELP’s advice can be timely, cost effective and pragmatic. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

I’ve turned to ELP for advice and support on a range of legal matters and have found them to be friendly, fast and efficient. A lot of people are intimidated by solicitors but ELP go out of their way to make legal support easy and accessible.

We found the service from ELP to be excellent and very efficient. From the first interview to talk through what we needed in the will to the actual signing was only 10 days. The whole process was explained clearly and we were encouraged to confront the very difficult and emotive issues that are involved in drawing up a will to ensure that all eventualities were covered and our wishes respected.

A highly efficient service from the team at ELP. Took the stress out of buying our property.

Thanks Barbara

I use ELP to manage conveyancing on investment properties and some of these purchases can be complex and tedious and take time to resolve. Throughout this process the staff are approachable and friendly and the service is always efficient and effective. I continue to recommend ELP to family and friends.
