If you are facing problems at work, we are here to help.  You will benefit from our experience of advising directors, executives and employees at all levels and in all sectors. Whether you are facing redundancy or disciplinary action, whether you wish to raise a grievance or an Employment Tribunal claim, we are likely to have seen it before and can guide you through the process.

Employment Tribunals

The modern workplace has become highly regulated over recent years, making the business of employing people very complicated.  As a result, it is increasingly common for employers and employees to fall into dispute. If you find yourself pursuing or defending an Employment Tribunal claim, then we are here to help.

We are keen to get involved in disputes at an early stage.  By working with you from the beginning, we can swiftly advise you on the merits of your claim or defence, together with the best strategies to adopt.  We can then guide you through each stage of the dispute, managing the risks and ensuring the best possible outcomes for you or your business.

We conduct all types of Employment Tribunal litigation and have particular experience in dealing with claims for:

• unfair dismissal 
• breach of contract 
• discrimination
• ‍harassment
• victimisation 
• whistle blowing

Settlement agreements

We regularly act for employees in the negotiation of settlement agreements (previously known as compromise agreements).  If you have been offered a settlement agreement, you will need to take independent legal advice on its terms and effect.  We can provide this advice.

We appreciate that you may be concerned about the potential costs involved.  However, your settlement agreement will normally include a promise from your employer that they will make a contribution towards your legal fees.  As a result, you may not have to pay us a penny for the help that we provide.
