We regularly assist employees with:
Disciplinary, Appeals and Dismissal Support
If you’ve been suspended, are under investigation, or facing disciplinary action at work, we can help you understand your legal position and next steps.
While disciplinary policies vary between employers, we’ll help you navigate the process and protect your interests throughout.
Discrimination in the Workplace
Dealing with discrimination can be particularly distressing. The law protects you against all forms of discrimination, including age, race, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, or disability.
Our team can advise you on your rights and help you take appropriate action.
Employee Grievance Procedures
When workplace issues can’t be resolved informally, we can guide you through raising an official grievance.
While there’s no legally binding process, our experienced solicitors ensure you follow best practices and help you understand each step of the ACAS Code of Practice.
Harassment and Bullying at Work
Everyone deserves to feel safe and comfortable at work. If you’re experiencing harassment or bullying, we can help you take action to stop the behaviour and protect your position.
This can be particularly challenging in smaller organisations – our dynamic team of solicitors support you in handling the situation sensitively and effectively.
Breach of Employment Contract
If your employer has acted unfairly or made unauthorised changes to your work or job role, we can help.
It’s crucial to act quickly in contract breach cases – our team will advise you on your options and help protect your rights.
Redundancy Support and Package Reviews
Redundancy processes are highly structured, and employers must follow specific procedures.
We’ll ensure your rights are protected throughout the process and review any redundancy package offered.
If proper procedures haven’t been followed, we can help you challenge the decision.
Settlement Agreements
If you’ve been offered a settlement agreement, our local employment solicitors can review it and explain exactly what it means for you.
The cost of this review is usually covered by your employer.
We recommend getting advice early in the process to ensure your interests are protected during negotiations.
Our business-focused team helps companies of all sizes maintain compliant, effective employment practices while minimising legal risk.

This depends on your employer’s conduct and the circumstances. We can help assess if you have grounds for constructive dismissal and advise on preserving your position.
We recommend seeking advice as soon as possible. Many employment claims have strict time limits – often just 3 months from the date of the incident. Early advice can also help prevent situations from escalating.
A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract where you agree to waive your right to bring any employment claims (e.g. unfair dismissal or discrimination) in return for a financial payout.
Before signing, consider:
Never feel pressured to sign—speak to a solicitor to discuss your employment rights and negotiate better terms if needed.
If you’ve been dismissed and feel it was unfair, you may have grounds to challenge it, but it depends on a few key factors.
Some dismissals are automatically unfair, such as being sacked for whistleblowing, pregnancy, or union membership.
Speak to an employment solicitor today to assess your case quickly—there’s usually specific time limits to make a claim.
