‘I mostly work with Tom Shears and the advice given is always professional and reliable. Where the law may be ambiguous, Tom always provides helpful risk based options so that we can take informed decisions. I’m particularly impressed by how well Ward Hadaway and Tom understand our business and culture – the relationship feels like an extension of our own organisation.’
People are the lifeblood of every organisation. Whether it is taking on more employees to support growth, restructuring or managing your current team, it pays to have experts on your side.
Our team of experienced legal specialists work for clients across the healthcare sector including NHS Trusts, CCGs and primary care organisations.
With one of the largest specialist employment law divisions in the North of England, our multi-disciplinary team of solicitors and human resource professionals is here to help. Our experience means we understand your unique challenges within the sector, and have the strength, depth and background to tackle any issue.
NHS Trusts that face a range of employment law issues is a particular specialism. Most are complex organisations, employing a large workforce comprising different skills and professions, meaning one size does not fit all.
