Employees.

Mundays’ employment team provides advice to meet your personal objectives. We’ll identify your priorities and the most appropriate course of action from a range of options that gets you from where you are to where you want to be.

With employers struggling to keep abreast of ever-changing employment law, it’s a rare employee who understands all their employment rights.  On top of that, the last few years have seen it become ever more difficult for employees to exercise those rights.

In the meantime, it’s human nature to want to get on with those around you and no-one deliberately sets out to have an awkward or acrimonious employment relationship.  But relationships do break down or come to an end for any number of reasons.  That’s when incisive but balanced advice can minimise not just any adverse financial or reputational consequences, but also the inevitable stress which accompanies uncertainty.

By involving us at an early stage in any employment matter, we can guide you down the best pathways, pursuing what you consider to be a positive outcome, minimising risk and saving you time and expense.

Nowadays, the flexibility of the labour market provides employers with a variety of options when it comes to engaging individuals.

Data Protection & Privacy (Employees)→

In our ever more computerised world, organisations handle data relating to customers, employees or other individuals on a day-to-day basis. The protection of this personal data is a key foundation to those relationships and individuals trust those who deal with their data to keep it secure and not to use it for improper purposes.

The new regulatory framework introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) applies to a wide range of financial institutions, including UK banks, building societies, investments firms and branches of foreign banks operating in the UK.

“
I found the team to be very comprehensive and intelligent in the way they reason.
Chambers & Partners UK
I would highly recommend Mundays, and Andrew Knorpel in particular. Andrew managed to make a truly horrendous situation for me, much more bearable, as he was kind and thoughtful as well as efficient, practical, and highly skilled. I felt so well looked after and everything was handled with my illness in mind.
A Private Client
"I cannot praise them enough," says a client. "They have been excellent in all areas we have worked with them in, and they are very good at explaining the issues to non-legal people." Another states: "They think ahead for their clients and have very good response times."
