Employment law advice for criminal practitioners affected by Best Value Tendering Best Value Tendering is likely to go ahead on 1st July 2010 with massive consequences for the employers and employees at criminal firms. We are here to help employers in this sector to take all steps to minimize the costs and disruption which the Legal Services Commission seems to be dropping at your door.

Employment laws are highly complex these days and specific procedures need to be put in place way ahead of D-Day. With this in mind, we are working with some of the leading firms to find the best way through the minefield.

Planning ahead is essential, whether you are a bidder, a winner or a loser. Those who lose contracts will face large scale redundancy bills and during the bidding process firms will need to be full aware of what they are taking. The LSC will not state in certain terms whether the service provision rules under TUPE will apply. If they do, then you will need to assess potential exposure and consider whether to negotiate indemnities.

ITSCRIMINAL is a focal point for the frustrations of criminal defence employers. By acting in a unified way, we can streamline the employment law issues for winners and losers and possibly influence events.
