Advice on Workplace Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures

If you are facing disciplinary action at work or need to raise concerns formally with your employer, obtaining legal advice at an early stage can be important.

Our employment solicitors can advise on:

• Disciplinary investigations
• Formal hearings
• Workplace grievances
• Appeals against disciplinary outcomes
• Evidence and witness preparation

We aim to help employees understand the process clearly and protect their legal rights throughout.

Settlement Agreement Advice

Settlement agreements are commonly used to resolve workplace disputes or bring employment to an agreed end.

Our lawyers advise employees on:

• Compensation offers
• Restrictive covenants
• Confidentiality clauses
• Employment references
• Tax implications
• Waiver of legal claims

Employers often contribute towards the employee’s legal costs for obtaining independent legal advice on settlement agreements.

Unfair Dismissal and Constructive Dismissal

If you have been dismissed from your job or feel forced to resign because of your employer’s conduct, you may have legal claims available.

We advise employees on:

• Unfair dismissal
• Wrongful dismissal
• Constructive dismissal
• Dismissal linked to discrimination
• Appeals against dismissal decisions

Employment Tribunal claims are subject to strict time limits, so early advice is strongly recommended.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

Employees are protected from unlawful discrimination under employment law.

Our solicitors advise on claims involving:

• Sex discrimination
• Race discrimination
• Disability discrimination
• Age discrimination
• Pregnancy and maternity discrimination
• Religious discrimination
• Sexual orientation discrimination
• Gender reassignment discrimination
• Sexual harassment

We can also advise employers who are facing allegations of discrimination or harassment within the workplace.

Redundancy and Insolvency Advice

Redundancy situations can create financial uncertainty for employees.

Our employment lawyers assist with:

• Redundancy consultation disputes
• Redundancy pay claims
• Collective redundancy claims
• Protective award claims
• Employer insolvency issues
• Claims involving administration or liquidation

Where multiple employees are affected, group claims may sometimes be possible.

Employment Contracts and Restrictive Covenants

Disputes relating to employment contracts can arise during employment or after termination.

We advise on:

• Bonus and commission disputes
• Restrictive covenants
• Confidentiality obligations
• Notice periods
• Contract interpretation
• Breach of contract claims

Understanding your contractual rights and obligations is important before taking action.

TUPE and Business Transfers

The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, commonly known as TUPE, can protect employees when businesses are sold or transferred.

We advise employees on:

• Transfers of employment
• Changes to terms and conditions

Employment Status and Worker Rights

Some disputes involve disagreements about employment status.

Even if your employer describes you as:

• A contractor
• A consultant
• A freelancer

you may still have legal rights as a worker or employee.

Our solicitors can advise on employment status disputes and entitlement to employment protections.

Legal Costs and Funding Options

• Legal Expenses Insurance cover
• Employer contributions towards settlement agreement advice

We aim to provide practical advice that takes your circumstances into account.
