Employers Employment Law Eastbourne
At 365 Employment Law, we provide a range of employment law services to businesses in Eastbourne.
Employment Tribunals
Employment tribunals are independent judicial bodies that resolve legal disputes at work, such as unfair dismissal claims, discrimination claims, and wage disputes. We help employers navigate employment tribunals, such as helping you understand your rights and discussing the best strategies for resolution.
Company Restructure
When a business restructures, there are many opportunities for legal exposure. At 365 Employment Law, we advise employers on workforce reorganisation, departmental restructures, redundancy exercises, risk assessments, communication strategies, and much more.
Business Advice
Many employment issues can be prevented through legal advice. That’s why our solicitors act as your trusted advisor on day-to-day workforce issues, including managing sickness absence, performance management, flexible working requests, and much more.
Employment Contracts
365 Employment Law ensures your employment contracts are legally compliant, clear, and aligned with your operational needs. We provide support on handbooks, contracts, and policies so they reflect the needs of your organisation.
Protecting Confidential Information
Confidential business information is often one of a company’s most valuable assets. That’s why, at 365 Employment Law, we advise on all elements of confidentiality in business, such as clauses, restrictive covenants, client protection measures, and much more in line with the Data Protection Act 2018.

Employees are protected from discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. If you have been treated unfairly at work due to a protected characteristic such as age, gender, race, disability, or religion, we can help support your discrimination case.

We help employees in Eastbourne pursue claims relating to unpaid wages, unpaid bonuses, commission disputes, holiday pay, and more.

We advise employees facing redundancy to ensure that their rights have been considered. We advise on consultation requirements, redundancy pay calculations, alternative employment opportunities and more.
Contracts and Restrictions
Before signing an employment contract, you must understand your obligations. We help review employment contracts, confidentiality clauses, bonus arrangements, and notice provisions.
