Employment Law Services For Employees
For every aspect of employment law we provide understanding, expert advice and representation to achieve the right result for you.
We understand that being unhappy and mistreated at work is a terrible experience that impacts all areas of your life and health. We will assist you to make the right decision and will pursue any claim you have to achieve a successful outcome.
We can provide an initial consultation so we can assess your situation and advise you on what claim(s) you may have.
Settlement Agreements
We frequently advise clients on the terms and effect of Settlement Agreements – making sure that before you sign on the dotted line you fully understand the content of the Agreement and the claims you are giving up the right to bring against your employer. We have repeatedly been successful in achieving very satisfactory terms for employees within a Settlement Agreement, following negotiation and representations on their behalf.
We can advise on the following:
- Grievances at work
- Breach of contract
- All types of discrimination in the workplace – sex, race, sexual orientation, religion, disability and age
- Harassment/bullying
- Equal pay and equal treatment
- Redundancy and reorganisation
- Constructive dismissal
- Unfair dismissal
- Maternity/paternity/part-time workers rights
- Flexible working requests
- Agency worker rights
- Business transfers – TUPE
- Contract terms
- Restrictions on post termination working
Most employment related claims require you to act quickly (usually within 3 months of the act complained of).
Therefore, do not delay and contact us today. We are here to listen and help produce solutions to the problem.

Client Testimonials; Employee Employment Law Services
Mr B instructed us to advise him regarding the termination of his employment and was represented by Jennifer Carpenter, employment specialist solicitor.
When asked how might we improve his response was “I don’t think I have any useful suggestions in this area. I felt supported and that you were on my side while giving me the advice I needed”
