Employment Law

Many people experience an employment issue of some sort during the course of their working life. These problems can be extremely stressful and can lead to problems at home or even health issues.

Why choose our Employment Law Team

Our highly experienced employment law team have one of the highest client satisfaction rates in the county. They will give you straightforward advice on your issue and let you know if, and how it could be resolved. This is especially important if you will be continuing to work for your employer, as we want to ensure you won’t be returning to an uncomfortable situation.

How we can help you

If you feel your employers have treated you unfairly and you would like advice on what to do next we offer a fixed fee advice consultation for £500+VAT. During this meeting not only will you get detailed legal advice on your specific situation but we will also advise you of any potential future costs, should you choose to instruct us to act on your behalf, and we can set up a flexible payment plan to suit your budget.

Important Note on Legal Fees: if you have home insurance, it is worth looking closely at your policy as it may include employment legal expenses coverage which would cover all of our consultation fees.  

Where you can get free employment law advice

Not everyone is in a position to pay for legal advice when they are having a dispute with their employer, if this is the position you are in there are two organisations that you can contact for help that will not charge you for initial advice:

Acas – the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service: They work with millions of employers and employees every year to improve workplace relationships. They are an independent public body that receives funding from the government and are a great starting point for employees and employers to get free advice.

Citizen’s Advice Bureau: They are a national charity and network of local charities that offer confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Most cities and towns will have an office that you can visit or call, or visit their website for general advice you can read online.

    It's the first time I engaged a lawyer. Libby was approachable and patient, she got to know my situation and helped advise me. I was able to relax through the process and trust her completely.

    I’d like to sincerely thank you for guiding me through this process with patience and expert advice. At every step of the way I felt confident I was in safe hands and I’m thrilled with the outcome we achieved. I’m also acutely aware of how important my union representative has been throughout the process too, as between you both, you have enabled me to stand up for something I felt deeply about and challenge the behaviour of a large and overbearing organisation. It is empowering to be able to do this, and I’m tremendously grateful for your help.
