Reduce Tribunal Risk. Protect Your Business. Employer-Focused Employment Law.

Running a business means making difficult people decisions - and getting them wrong is expensive. One mishandled dismissal, a redundancy consultation cut short, or a contract clause that quietly breaches the Equality Act can land you in front of an employment tribunal, with the legal costs, management time and reputational damage that follow. Our employment law service for employers is built to keep those risks off your desk, giving you clear, commercially-minded advice before problems escalate.

We advise on the full lifecycle of the employment relationship: drafting and reviewing contracts and staff handbooks, running legally watertight disciplinary and grievance procedures, managing redundancy consultations and restructures, handling TUPE transfers on acquisitions and outsourcing, negotiating settlement agreements, and defending tribunal claims when they arise. Because we also act for employees, we know exactly how the other side will frame a claim - and that dual-perspective judgement is what allows us to steer clients away from the traps that catch less specialist advisers.

With 26 years of employment law practice, recognition as a Legal 500 UK Leading Firm 2022, and coverage in the BBC, Financial Times, Guardian and Times, Blackstone is trusted by employers who need decisions made properly the first time. From offices in Manchester and London we advise businesses across England and Wales. For a no-obligation initial discussion, call Natasha Jones and the team on 0330 808 0849.
