Employment Law Services for Employees

Workplace disputes can have a significant impact on your career, income, and wellbeing. We provide expert legal support in a wide range of employment law matters, including:

Unfair Dismissal

If you believe you have been dismissed without a fair reason or proper procedure, you may have grounds to bring a claim. We can assess your case, explain your legal options, and represent you throughout the process.

Constructive Dismissal

When an employer's conduct makes it impossible for you to continue working, you may be entitled to resign and pursue a constructive dismissal claim. Our solicitors can advise on the strength of your case and the steps required to protect your position.

Workplace Discrimination

Employees are protected from discrimination based on characteristics such as age, disability, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, and gender reassignment. We help clients challenge unlawful discrimination and seek appropriate remedies.

Harassment and Bullying

A hostile working environment can seriously affect your health and professional life. We provide practical advice on addressing workplace harassment and pursuing legal action where necessary.

Redundancy and Restructuring

If you have been selected for redundancy, we can review the process followed by your employer and advise whether your rights have been respected.

Settlement Agreements

Before signing a settlement agreement, it is important to obtain independent legal advice. We explain the terms, negotiate improvements where appropriate, and ensure your interests are protected.

Whistleblowing Claims

Employees who report wrongdoing should not suffer retaliation. We advise whistleblowers on their legal protections and assist with claims arising from detrimental treatment or dismissal.
