Employment Law

Unfair dismissal occurs when an employer terminates employment without a fair reason or without following proper procedures. Fair reasons include conduct, capability, redundancy, or legal requirements. Our team can help assess your case and advise on the best course of action.

Most employment tribunal claims must be brought within 3 months less one day from the date of dismissal or the date the issue occurred. However, this can vary depending on the type of claim. It's crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure you don't miss any deadlines.

Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly due to protected characteristics including age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or pregnancy. This can manifest in various ways including hiring decisions, promotions, pay, or workplace treatment.

While you can represent yourself at an employment tribunal, professional legal representation is recommended. Employment law is complex, and a solicitor can help present your case effectively, handle procedural requirements, and maximize your chances of success.

If you're facing redundancy, ensure your employer follows proper procedures including fair selection criteria, consultation, and consideration of alternative roles. Our team can review your situation, ensure your rights are protected, and negotiate the best possible redundancy package.
