We are here to empower you

A Personal message from Justina Ricci, Founder and Managing Partner.

Hello,

Welcome to Ricci & Partners, where our passion for justice and dedication to our clients drive everything we do.

I founded this law firm with the firm belief that every individual deserves fair treatment and equal rights, especially in the workplace. With years of experience in employment law, I have witnessed the impact that discrimination, harassment, and unfair practices can have on individuals and their livelihoods.

At Ricci & Partners, our mission is clear: to fight for justice, empower our clients, and create positive change. We are here to provide you with the legal support and guidance you need to navigate the complexities of employment law and protect your rights. Our team is committed to advocating fiercely on your behalf, whether you are facing workplace discrimination, wrongful termination of your employment, wage disputes, or other employment-related challenges. 

We understand that every case is unique, and we approach each one with compassion, empathy, and personalised attention. Our goal is not only to achieve favorable outcomes but also to ensure that you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the legal process. We believe in open communication, transparency, and building strong partnerships with our clients.

Before setting up Ricci & Partners I was determined to support employees only. However, as time progressed I realised the impact that good legal support can have on resolving disputes before they escalate and assisting employers handle difficult and tricky situations by providing them with clear guidance on what they need to do to meet their legal obligations. As such we support businesses who welcome good working practices and provide them with necessary assistance and guidance on their journey to creating a welcoming and fair environment for their employees.

I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our services, and read the testimonials from our satisfied clients. When you’re ready, reach out to us for a consultation, where we can discuss your situation, evaluate your legal options, and chart a path forward.

Thank you for considering Ricci & Partners as your trusted legal partner. We are grateful for your trust.

We cover various areas, including equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, harassment prevention, code of conduct, disciplinary procedures, performance management, and employee privacy.

A well-designed staff handbook serves as a comprehensive guide for your employees, outlining their rights, obligations, and the company’s policies and procedures. Our staff handbooks are designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that your employees can easily access and understand the information they need. 

HR Consultancy

Our HR Consultancy service provides expert, strategic support to help businesses with developing their talent strategy during the early stages of their development and beyond.

We always tailor our model to the specific needs of the business relating to and engaging with its talent at every stage of the employee journey as well as the various stages of organisational growth.

GDPR in Employment

Non-compliance with GDPR can result in significant fines and reputational damage, so it is crucial for employers to understand their obligations and take the necessary steps to ensure compliance.

As more and more employees use Data Subject Access Requests as a means of applying pressure on employers, it is important that your organisation has the right support when dealing with such requests. 

Finally, we assist employers on being compliant with their privacy notices to employees.

Compliance Review

Staying compliant with employment laws and regulations is vital for any business. Our firm keeps abreast of the latest legal developments to ensure that your HR practices align with the legal framework. We assist with compliance audits, review employment contracts and policies, and provide guidance on specific legal requirements, such as minimum wage, working hours, leave entitlements, IR35, data protection regulations and worker status.

HR Training and Workshops

Investing in the professional development of your HR staff and managers is crucial for effective HR management. We offer customised training sessions and workshops on various HR topics, including equal employment opportunity, managing workplace diversity, effective performance evaluations, and HR best practices. Our interactive sessions provide practical knowledge and empower your team to handle HR challenges confidently.

Settlement Agreements

In employment law, settlement agreements are commonly used to resolve disputes between employers and employees, including issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, or contractual disagreements.

For the settlement agreement to be enforceable it needs to meet specific criteria. One of those is that you get independent legal advice from your solicitor.

We can advise on you the terms, help you negotiate a better package, and where possible we fix our fees to your employer’s contribution so our service for you is free.

Negotiate Exit

Settlement agreement negotiations can be a daunting and sometimes stressful prospect. However, if you have decided that the best option for you is to leave your employment, then it is important that you have the necessary support to ensure that you leave on terms that are most favourable to you.

We are experienced in negotiating exit packages and we will advise and support you throughout the process.

Employment Legal Advice

If you need advice on your employment rights, we can help. We offer a fixed fee service. For more information please get in touch.

Employment Litigation

In the event that your matter escalates to litigations we will support you by helping you draft the claim, deal with all case management directions, prepare your documents, your schedule of loss, attend preliminary hearings on your behalf and assist you with all employment tribunal related steps.

Agreement Review

More often than not, employers will ask that you enter into certain restrictions that will apply to you even after your employment terminates. It is important that you understand what those are, and negotiate them before you commence your employment. If you need our assistance to advise you on the terms of your employment intellectual property, confidentiality and restrictive covenant clauses, we can help.

Grievance Support

Although we are not usually able to participate in the internal procedures, we can assist you with drafting your grievance and supporting you through the process to ensure that you take all the necessary steps to protect your position should the matter escalate to litigation. 

For more information please get in touch.
