Employment Law

As a rural employer you face specific challenges and need to keep up to date with employment legislation to avoid any pitfalls due to tied housing, sale and purchase of farms and estates, sporting lets or the impact of tax planning arrangements. 

The Employment Law Team at Turcan Connell has dedicated experience and expertise relating to rural employers and regularly works closely with colleagues from our Land and Property Team to offer a fully rounded service to land owners and managers.

We always endeavour to identify and manage potential problems proactively, avoiding the need for litigation. However, where necessary, we can call on our strong track record of representing clients at tribunal. Another discrete area where the Employment Law Team can assist is in relation to employment within the family home. For the larger historic houses and castles, we can advise on the employment of a range of other types of employees including guides and restaurant staff.
