We offer advice and representation in with the following areas;

Unfair Dismissal & Wrongful Dismissal when you have already been dismissed by your employer for reasons that you believe are unjustified.

Discrimination we can advise you on any action to take if you feel you have been discriminated against on any of the statutory grounds, whether that discrimination occurred whilst you were employed or when you applied for a job.

Redundancy if you face redundancy we can advise you on the legality of what your employer proposes and also on your entitlements.

Compromise Agreements if you leave your employment by agreement with your employer then you will usually be required to sign a compromise agreement which sets out what has been agreed. It is a requirement of law that have legal advice on the agreement, most employers pay for the advice. We can advise on whether you should sign the agreement and seek to negotiate the best settlement for you.
