Employment Law Advice for Employees

We are here to help our clients to understand their employment rights. Our specialist employment lawyers are here to help clients both at the outset of an employment relationship as well as through challenging times and termination of employment.

What Can We Help With?

Our expert lawyers can help you at every stage of your employment:

Accepting a new role

We provide advice and assistance in the negotiation of the terms of your employment contract and benefits package. We also advise on any relocation queries, including housing status and entitlement.

During your employment

We can support you through performance, capability, disciplinary and grievance processes. Our dedicated team can advise on issues such as harassment, discrimination, victimisation and other disputes.

If you feel you are being treated unfairly or being made to leave your job through a false redundancy process we can help. We provide advice on termination, disengagement, settlement, compromise agreements and claims before the Discrimination and Employment Tribunal.

Post-Termination

Employment documents, such as your contract of employment or staff handbook, may contain restrictions on your future activity.
