Unfair dismissal law

Solicitors here advise on and conduct proceedings in relation to claims of unfair dismissal. Not everyone in employment is eligible to present a complaint for unfair dismissal. For example, only "employees" are eligible. A person who is self-employed (i.e. who works under a contract for services rather than a contract of service) will not be able to claim. Our solicitors can advise as to the strength of claims and where a claim for unfair dismissal is not viable they can advise as to possible alternatives such as as unlawful discrimination.

Solicitors here supply a comprehensive employment law service for both employers and employees including:

• drafting contract documentation
• tribunal claims for unfair dismissal
• supplying staff handbooks
• compromise and severance agreements
• advice as to disciplinary procedures
• advice as to redundancy and dismissal
• advice as to discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability or age
• harassment in the workplace
