Employment Dispute

As an employer, you may face claims from employees from time to time. These could relate to issues such as grievances, unfair dismissal, discrimination and breach of contract terms. Having a strong legal team in your corner means that you will be able to deal with disputes swiftly and effectively before they escalate.

Our employment solicitors represent businesses across many sectors in defending legal claims and resolving disputes. We know how important it is to prevent a situation from deteriorating and we can advise you on the best course of action to prevent this from happening.

We work for organisations of all sizes from small and medium-sized enterprises to large companies. If you ask us to represent you, we will make sure we understand how you operate and the risks you face. Our advice will be clear and pragmatic and we will always be honest in our assessment of the strength of your case. You can see us on social media, on TV, in newspapers and magazines and our Head of Employment is the go to lawyer on the Vanessa Feltz TV Show.

Litigation in employment disputes

We always attempt to resolve employment disputes by way of negotiation wherever possible. We also use alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, to try and find an acceptable solution. Where this is not possible, we will put together a robust case on your behalf for an employment tribunal or court.

It is essential that the correct procedures are followed throughout a dispute as you could be penalised by a tribunal if errors are made. Our Employment Team will ensure that the proper protocols are followed. We are known for our attention to detail and the exceptional level of service we provide to ensure that our clients have the strongest possible case.

We will ensure that you are thoroughly prepared for the court or tribunal hearing and that your case is presented by an expert employment law advocate.
