What we can help with

Disputes over flexible working requests

The reason most of us make a flexible working request is to achieve a work life balance that fits in with our family commitments. It is often difficult to understand the process of how to make a request and even more difficult to understand your employer’s rationale when requests are refused.

Defending employment tribunal claims

Whether you are in early conciliation, or an ex-employee has brought employment tribunal proceedings against your business, you need to take tailored advice and gain support quickly.

Contract of employment disputes

When you start a new job or role, it is sometimes not clear what your rights are or what your obligations are in performing your role. The purpose of a contract of employment is to clearly set out the role, rights and responsibilities of both you and your employer.

Holiday & time off disputes

People take time off from their jobs for all sorts of situations whether planned or unplanned. Whatever your reason for needing to take a period of leave, there’s likely to be a facet of employment law which protects you.

Maternity leave & pay disputes

If you are an expectant mother, you should be aware of your rights relating to maternity leave and pay. There are specific employment rights which apply to women, during pregnancy and childbirth, to ensure that you are not treated unfairly.

Unpaid wage disputes

Most of us work to receive payment in return for the effort we give to an employer. When you aren’t paid the wages that you are owed, you can be left feeling exploited and out of pocket.

Employment Tribunal appeals

Litigation can be a very stressful time, and if you have been unsuccessful at an Employment Tribunal, it is important that you receive expert legal advice on whether you have grounds to pursue your case through the appeals process.

Disputes over job offers

When applying for a new job, you should expect to be treated fairly and subjected to a fair recruitment process. Sometimes this is not the case, and it is important to understand what your rights are in these circumstances.

Disputes over dismissal

Being dismissed by your employer is a very stressful time and can impact on all aspects of your life. However, your employer is required by the law to have a fair reason to dismiss you and follow certain procedures to ensure that everything is done fairly.

Settlement agreement disputes

A settlement agreement is a legal binding contract issued by an employer to bring an employment contract to an end.

Redundancy disputes

If you are being made redundant by your employer, you will have certain rights by law. You may be entitled to redundancy pay, your notice pay as well as any other benefits you are entitled to.

Employer whistleblowing

Everyone has the right to work in a safe working environment. If you feel that your employer is engaging in unsafe working practices, and you are being treated unfairly as a result of raising your concerns, you may be entitled to blow the whistle by reporting your employer to a regulatory body or pursue a claim in an employment tribunal.

Claiming against your employer

Employment law is complicated and few people have a clear idea of all their rights at work which is why it is so important to get legal advice as soon as you face a problem.

Employer discrimination claims

Everyone has the right to be treated fairly at work. Unfortunately there are times when other people may not respect this right. You could find yourself being treated unfairly in comparison to other people, and that unfair treatment could amount to discrimination.

Raising an employer grievance

As an employee, you should feel secure to do the job you are employed to do. Sometimes however, issues in the workplace can lead to unfair treatment causing stress and financial loss.

Employer disciplinary proceedings disputes

Facing disciplinary proceedings can be an extremely worrying time, and it is important for you to understand what your rights and obligations are to ensure that you are not treated unfairly.
