| This team offers a range of services for employment law, including redundancy and TUPE issues. The group has provided training seminars and presentations for the likes of Monmouthshire County Council, the Builders Federation, the Employment Lawyers Association and for some of the FTSE 100 clients of Pertemps Limited. The team has seen a rise in the number of media-related cases and Guy Hollebon acted on behalf of television journalist Richard Gizbert in his successful employment tribunal claim against ABC News Intercontinental. Gizbert was dismissed for refusing to travel to and report from a war-zone, namely Iraq, and won his claim on health and safety grounds. In respondent-based work Guy is described as “particularly good in presenting advice to managers, helpful in negotiating reasonable out of court settlements and giving realistic outcomes.” Ranked as a nationwide mediator, Alex Bevan is also a prominent figure in the regional employment market. “Aggressive” and successfulin representing employees, he also handles both contentious and non-contentious matters for employers and has a niche specialism in cases involving damage to career and negligent references.
