Legal Support for Employers

Running a business is easier when your legal risks are under control. Loch provides commercial, pragmatic employment advice that helps you resolve issues quickly and defend your position when disputes arise. From day-to-day guidance to representation in Employment Tribunals, we align legal strategy with your commercial goals.

We also work proactively to prevent problems – putting the right contracts, policies and data protection measures in place; shaping fair processes for performance, absence and flexible working; and guiding you through equality duties. When change is needed, we manage exits, redundancies and TUPE with minimal disruption.

Where facts are disputed, we conduct or oversee impartial investigations and inquiries, give an early view on prospects, and use mediation or dispute resolution to control cost and impact (including retained options to spread costs).

If your growth depends on international talent, we support Sponsorship Licences and employee visas so you can hire and move people compliantly and at pace.

Approachable and Expert Legal Support

Loch helps employers manage risk and resolve workplace issues quickly – combining clear day-to-day advice with robust Employment Tribunal representation. We align legal strategy with your commercial goals, so decisions protect relationships and the bottom line.

Proactively, we put strong foundations in place: tailored contracts and Service Agreements, policies and handbooks, employment status advice, GDPR compliance and DSAR handling, plus whistleblowing frameworks. We also shape fair processes for absence, performance and flexible working, and guide you on equality duties.

When matters escalate, we run impartial investigations, design and operate disciplinary and grievance procedures, provide an early view on prospects, and use mediation and other dispute resolution options -including retained arrangements – to control cost and impact.

During change, we manage restructures, exits and TUPE from planning to consultation and documentation, and support global talent needs with Sponsorship Licences and employee visa applications so you can hire compliantly at pace.

Your Questions Answered

We audit policies and practices, map data, set up DSAR workflows and response packs, and manage redaction and responses within statutory timeframes – training managers so future requests are handled efficiently and lawfully.

We design compliant processes, provide consultation plans, letters and scripts, advise on selection criteria, and negotiate settlement agreements where appropriate. For TUPE, we manage due diligence, information and consultation duties, and post-transfer harmonisation advice.

An external investigator brings impartiality and credibility, delivers a defensible process (scoping, interviews, evidence review), and produces a clear report with findings and recommendations – reducing Tribunal risk and protecting trust inside the organisation.
