Kevin Taylor-Murphy

Director

Hi, my name is Kevin, I am a Director and employment lawyer at Employment Law Solutions.

Having joined Alf from law school I have taken on many roles in the business. I have recently stepped back form client work and am focussing on business development. With a wide network should you ever need a contact or signposting to someone who can help with other problems just let me know.

My ethos is to try and relieve the stress of the HR and employment law problems.  We know that they are stressful and the law is often confusing, so if I can help a client smile or share a laugh whilst I cure their HR headache I am even more proud of the job I have done.

I can be found every other Friday morning at NetworkIN, Team Stoke Friday.  As the award-winning Team Leader for 2019, 2022 and 2023, 2024 I love to help our business community thrive and share opportunities and referrals.

Should I start making redundancies?

In one of the final Acts of the Conservative government, a Code of Practice on dismissal and re-engagement (the Code) more commonly known as “fire and rehire” was passed through Parliament and came into effect on 18 July 2024. This is a statutory code which must be taken into account but it is nowhere near as robust as the Labour Party would like (see our review of the 2024 manifesto here), we can therefore, expect to see further changes to the fire and rehire rules.
