Employment

Do you feel that you have been treated unfairly at work? Have you been subjected to unacceptable behaviour on grounds of your age, sex or a disability? Have you been dismissed or made redundant in circumstances that are not fair? If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you may have a potential claim against your employer in the employment tribunal.

Equally, you may require advice regarding a new contract of employment, a compromise agreement, or restrictive covenants that apply to you.

Our Employment Team can advise and explain, in plain, straightforward English, what your rights are and how you can use them to your advantage. We specialise in giving sensible, timely, practical advice when you need it, to help you choose the best course of action going forward. We recognise that there are complexities in any employment situation and will analyse the issues and make suitable recommendations to you.  

The Employment Team’s expertise includes:

  • Advising on disciplinary action and grievance procedures
  • Providing advice regarding service agreements, contracts of employment and consultancy agreements
  • Representing individuals in claims to the employment tribunal
  • Negotiating settlements of employment tribunal claims
  • Providing advice regarding discrimination and harassment issues
