Employment Law for Employees

Employment disputes and workplace problems

Work-related issues can be stressful, upsetting and overwhelming — particularly where you are being bullied at work, treated unfairly, or feel your job is at risk.

This might involve a breakdown in relationships with managers or colleagues, concerns about how you are being treated, or formal processes such as redundancy, disciplinary action or settlement agreements.

Employees are often offered settlement agreements where an employer wishes to resolve a workplace issue quickly. Our solicitors provide clear settlement agreement advice, explaining your options and your rights before you sign.

Employment law advice for employees

Our dedicated employment law solicitors advise employees across a wide range of workplace issues, including:

• Settlement Agreements – advice on settlement or compromise agreements, including reviewing terms, explaining your options, and ensuring any agreement is fair and legally valid.
• Redundancy Advice – support during redundancy consultations, advice on whether a redundancy is genuine, and guidance on redundancy packages and alternatives.
• Unfair Dismissal – advice if you have been dismissed, are facing dismissal, or believe correct procedures have not been followed.
• Grievances & Constructive Dismissal – advice where workplace relationships have broken down, grievances have been mishandled, or you feel forced to resign.
• Employment Contracts & Restrictions – reviewing employment contracts, non-compete clauses and changes to terms and conditions
• Discrimination & Harassment – support where you have been treated unfairly because of disability, mental health, sex, race or another protected characteristic.
• Disciplinary & Performance Issues – guidance on disciplinary investigations, suspensions, gross misconduct allegations and performance improvement plans (PIPs).
• Bullying and Harassment at Work – advice where you are experiencing bullying, intimidating behaviour, unfair treatment or a hostile working environment.

We can provide one-off advice on a specific issue, ongoing support during negotiations, or full representation where a dispute progresses further.
