Employees
We help Employees from a range of employment backgrounds and with all sorts of legal issues. From problems with unfair dismissal or termination of employment, constructive dismissal, discrimination, tribunal representation or unpaid wages to restrictive covenants after leaving an employer.
We recognise that however valid your claim, contacting a lawyer and taking legal action can be a bit daunting. It’s not something you do every day. So, we always try to put ourselves in your shoes, understand exactly what you want to achieve and get you everything to which you are justifiably entitled.
We have unrivalled expertise and experience and a robust commitment to make employment law work for you. We don’t sit on the fence and we will tell you how to resolve your employment difficulties and achieve your goals.

Below you will see a more detailed list of the services we provide for Employees. It’s what we do and the way that we do it that makes all the difference.
-
Sometimes people are presented with settlement agreements designed to bring their contract to end or to resolve a dispute and they need to understand whether the terms of fair or not in the circumstances. You can read more about how we can help you here
-
A large number of employees have experienced issues with their employers in relation to taking all the holiday they are entitled to. Also, long-term sickness can create issues with your employment. We are here to offer you a safe pair of hands and support you during any difficult time.
-
Discrimination can take different forms and none should be treated lightly. If you feel that you have been discriminated in any way, we are here to offer you support and guidance on the legal steps you can take to protect your employment and yourself. We will make sure to hold those guilty to account and protect you from others who come after you.
-
Redundancy is a lot more common than most employees think. However, as an employee you have rights and the redundancy process must be followed to the letter by the employer to ensure that you have been fairly treated. If you feel that you need support and advice during the process or you need someone to negotiate a fair package, give us a call to discuss your case.
-
A lot of employees can face disciplinary hearings as a result of their actions. We have supported many clients through their disciplinaries, dismissals or grievances and we have acquired the expertise and the capability to assist you during this difficult and stressful time.
-
When it comes to Employment Tribunals, you should be absolutely clear that no litigation can guarantee success, no matter how strong the case appears to be. However, we are always doing our best for our clients and we go above and beyond for them. To learn more about what a potential tribunal could entail and have a look at the potential costs, you can click here.
-
If you think that that you may have been unfairly dismissed, we can offer you a safe pair of hands. We realise that this is a difficult process for you and we always try to keep things simple for our clients. We can also deal with any post termination restrictions
-
If you feel you are not being paid the same as someone of the opposite sex for doing the same job or an equivalent job, we can help. We are familiar with the staged approach taken by Tribunals to equal pay claims, as well as cases involving the appointment of an expert to assess job equivalence.
-
Whether you are being bullied or harassed by a manager, colleague or even a third party, such as a customer or a supplier, we can advise on the appropriate next steps depending on your situation and what you want to achieve.
-
Appraisals and performance reports are often used by employers to evaluate an employee’s performance. Sometimes, employees feel that they were mistreated during their appraisal. If this how you feel, we can offer you support and guidance.
-
There are times where your employer wants to stop you taking a new job or speaking to valuable business contacts. The rules covering these restrictions are complex and often unenforceable, even when properly drafted. We are certain we can help you out with whatever you are dealing with.
If you can’t find what you are lookng for, it doesn’t mean we don’t do it.
