Employment Law for Employees

How our employment lawyers can help employees

Our employment lawyers represent employees at employment tribunals, including unfair dismissal and workplace discrimination claims. We can tell you if we think you have a good enough case and whether we can represent you in bringing a claim.

If you are being asked by your employer to sign a settlement agreement because you are being dismissed or made redundant, you need to get independent legal advice first. Our employment law solicitors can look at the agreement and give you the right advice.

Problems at work?

Get in touch to see how our experienced employment law solicitors may be able to help you if:

  • You are the victim of bullying and harassment in the workplace;
  • You think you have been discriminated against at work on the grounds of protected characteristics contrary to the Equality Act 2010;
  • You have been dismissed by your employer and believe you have grounds to claim for unfair dismissal at an employment tribunal;
  • You have a breach of contract claim.

How we can help you

If you believe you are the victim of discrimination at work or you have been unfairly dismissed:

  • We can tell you whether we think you can make an employment tribunal claim.
  • We can give you formal legal advice about your situation and the options available to you.
  • Sometimes we may be able to negotiate with your employer on your behalf to try and resolve the situation.
  • We can act for you in making an employment tribunal claim, preparing the case and representing you at the tribunal.

No win no fee

We can undertake employment tribunal claims on a no win no fee basis where we assess the chances of success are good enough.

Settlement agreements advice

If you have been offered a settlement agreement to leave your employment, we can check the agreement and advise you whether or not you should accept it. We can usually do this for a fixed fee and without you having to visit our offices.

Sometimes we may be able to negotiate with your employer to get you a better deal before you sign away your rights to make an employment tribunal claim. Your employer will usually agree to pay for your legal advice as part of the settlement.

What to do now

In all cases the starting point is an informal discussion with one of our employment law specialists who can tell you how we can help you. If a specialist is not available when you call, you can arrange a call back.

We offer a free initial consultation by telephone for most employment law matters, so we can give you an idea of whether you have a potential claim or a case where we can help you, and where possible, give an estimate of the fees and costs involved.
