Expert Employment Law Advice
Our employment law team brings together experts from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds, allowing us to provide informed, inclusive, and sensitive legal support. When advising on discrimination and workplace disputes, we prioritise understanding, discretion, and a client-focused approach. We provide clear and transparent employment law support.
What is Employment Law?
Employment law governs the legal relationship between employers and employees. It covers a broad range of rights, duties, and responsibilities, making it one of the most complex and constantly evolving areas of law.
Services in Employment Law
Our employment law experts advise both employees and employers across a wide spectrum of workplace matters. Given the breadth of employment law, we offer tailored services to address a variety of legal challenges.
Examples of the matters we regularly advise on include:
- Constructive and unfair dismissal
Where an employee is dismissed without fair reason, or forced to resign due to unacceptable treatment. - Redundancy
Advice and representation where redundancy is proposed or has already taken place, ensuring fair process and treatment. - Workplace discrimination
Including but not limited to discrimination related to age, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy & maternity, marriage & civil partnership, and gender reassignment. - Harassment and bullying
Support where unwanted conduct and or inappropriate behaviour has created a hostile or intimidating working environment. - Whistleblowing
Legal protection for employees who report wrongdoing in the workplace. - Breach of contract
Where the terms of an employment contract have not been honoured. - Restrictive covenants
Advice on the enforceability and implications of post-employment restrictions. - Settlement agreements
Guidance on negotiating, drafting, or reviewing settlement agreements.

How Much Does an Employment Law Expert Cost?
We understand that concerns about cost can discourage people from seeking legal advice. Our aim is to make employment law support accessible, which is why we offer a range of flexible fee options, including fixed-fee or no win no fee.
Employees involved in workplace disputes can explore detailed information about our fee structures, while employers facing claims such as unfair or constructive dismissal can access tailored pricing options specific to their needs.
Funding your employment law or discrimination claim
Legal action is not always the first step in resolving workplace disputes, but where other options have failed, it may be necessary to protect your rights. We offer several funding options to make pursuing a claim more manageable.
Where appropriate, we provide fixed-fee services, including initial case assessments and representation at employment tribunal hearings. Other funding options include:
- Hourly rates
Suitable where clients wish to handle parts of the case themselves, with fees varying by solicitor experience and location. - Legal expenses insurance
Some home insurance policies include cover for employment disputes, which should be checked before instructing a solicitor.
Funding arrangements may also differ depending on whether you are a union member. Union referrals are handled through our Organisations and Member Services (OMS) Employment team, which supports unions, staff associations, and their members.
If you are instructing us privately, our employment law team accepts direct referrals from individuals and will be happy to advise on any workplace issue you are facing.
