Whether you’re a business owner, an expectant parent or someone looking to adopt, we can provide practical advice on how parental leave impacts you.
Today, parents and adopters have the option to choose how to share their parental leave and pay. At Giles Wilson, we can advise you and your partner on how this applies to your situation, safeguard your rights relating to your current employment status, and ensure that you are treated fairly by your employer.
As local specialists in fertility law, we can also advise on regulations that grant legal rights to couples becoming parents to a child born through a surrogacy agreement, and how these affect you.
And because parental leave can also be a tricky issue for employers, our team can offer guidance to business owners on how to best deal with requests for parental leave, as well as clarify your duty and rights.
We understand the emotions and challenges you may be facing. We can offer sensitive legal advice to ensure your rights are protected.
With Powers of Attorney you are giving power to someone to make decisions about everything about you if you don’t want to or can’t make those decisions yourself.
Anyone of the above is able to help advise in the first instance; pick up the phone and call 01702 477106 if you need to speak to a family lawyer.
