Beecham Peacock are here to help with all of your Employment Law problems.

Hotel solicitors

Hotels work in fast-paced environments, often accommodating diverse workforces, shift patterns and high staff turnover levels. Our employment law services can help hotel employers deal with common day-to-day issues and disputes, while also helping to pre-emptively protect these disputes from taking place through contracts and employee handbooks.

Our team of employment law experts have worked extensively with leisure businesses and can aid with sensitive workplace issues like disciplinary and grievance processes, as well as family-friendly rights and protected disclosures.

For hotels, our TUPE services might be particularly relevant, in the event that management or operating contracts are changing, or services like housekeeping are outsourced.

Hospitality solicitors

Hospitality businesses can also benefit heavily from retained employment law legal services. The industry’s large, varied workforces and high turnover rate mean that support with redundancies and restructuring is a common requirement.

While the 2025 Employment Rights Act has aimed to reduce zero-hour contracts, they remain popular in hospitality, making our employment contracts, staff handbooks and disciplinary/grievance HR services an increasingly useful facility.

Leisure solicitors

The leisure sector carries its own set of similar, but distinct, areas where legal support might be required. Thanks to the prevalence of roles where employees are responsible for customer experience, safety or sales, we regularly support with performance management legal advice for the leisure sector.

Leisure operators often use lean teams and can be acutely impacted by ongoing absences, meaning that legal support for sickness management can also be a helpful facility. Meanwhile, gyms, clubs and other social businesses must ensure rigid and supportive data handling procedures to ensure compliance – another area where we can provide help.
