Testimonial
“
I worked with Loch in July 2025 regarding an employment matter. They turned what was a fairly daunting matter into a straightforward one, taking time to explain my rights and how we would approach the situation. I would have got nowhere near the outcome we ended up reaching without their support, for which I’m very grateful! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Loch in the future.

Legal guidance when facing challenges
Our solicitors advise businesses, charities and other organisations of all sizes, from start-ups to established enterprises, on everything from drafting employment contracts and GDPR compliance to managing performance, discrimination claims and restructuring exercises. They design bespoke policies, lead workplace investigations and represent clients in disciplinary, grievance and tribunal proceedings.
For individual employees, we explain your rights at every stage of grievance and disciplinary hearings, settlement negotiations, restrictive covenant disputes, discrimination or whistleblowing issues, and work to secure the best outcome for you.
Pragmatic HR support
Tailored learning to develop skills
We deliver a wide spectrum of training courses, workshops and e-learning, either on-site or via scheduled webinars, to keep your teams stay informed, skilled and resilient. Topics range from Equality, Diversity & Inclusion and menopause awareness, to data protection, health & safety and the essentials of UK employment law. Bite-size learning videos cover everything from handling grievances to effective appraisals, while immersive sessions such as mock tribunals give managers real-world confidence in handling complex situations.
Conflict resolution
Early-stage mediation can prevent disagreements from escalating into formal grievances or costly litigation. Our accredited mediators facilitate confidential dialogue to uncover underlying issues and negotiate practical, mutually acceptable solutions, whether you’re dealing with team tensions, leadership disputes or shareholder conflicts. By choosing mediation, you protect relationships, reputations and resources.
Ongoing insight and rapid response
Our experts aim to respond to all enquiries within two hours, ensuring you get the timely guidance you need. Additionally, we offer free resources – such as blogs, newsletters and guides including “The Employment Rights Bill: What employers need to know” or our “Performance Management: An Employer’s Guide” – to keep you abreast of legislative developments and best practice. You can also sign up for regular updates or join one of our many events and webinars.
