Overview
We recognise that modern business has to move fast, to react to unexpected circumstances, to take advantage of opportunities, to adjust to change, or simply to meet the challenges of an increasingly demanding commercial environment. We will work with you to ensure that your objectives are met whilst providing calm, focussed and experienced advice to relieve the pressures that accompany all types of transaction and commercial circumstance.

Tanners values a strong emphasis on personal liaison, both externally and within the firm. Our objective is to ensure that all parties involved in any particular transaction work as a team in achieving the desired result. We apply a commercial mind to client instructions to ensure that the needs of our clients are addressed in the round.

Employment
We are very conscious that even the best run businesses sometimes experience employment difficulties. The pressures imposed upon both sides of the employment relationship can lead to problems between employers and employees and uncertainty about the obligations and entitlements within that working relationship can often worsen any problem.

We believe in a proactive and preventative approach to such problems. With careful planning and proper documentation both employers and employees can avoid most issues that are likely to cause an upset. We can prepare clear employment terms and effective and fair policies and procedures so that all concerned are fully aware of their rights and obligations from the outset. If litigation or disputes cannot be avoided, we will guide you through the various tribunal or Court procedures in a straight forward and practical way, without unnecessary jargon.
