Employment dispute advice
Our team of Employment lawyers recognise how important your job is for you and understand that for many employees dealing with difficult situations at work can be stressful. At times like this, clear and supportive advice can make all the difference.
We are committed to helping you make the right decisions, which could involve helping you decide whether to take a job and agree the terms of joining, or helping you to decide whether to leave a job and assisting you with the terms of your departure. We are able to set out your options clearly and simply, and can explain what rights you have as an employee in order to help you manage your situation.
Our Employment lawyers are not only specialists in their field but also aim to provide practical and pragmatic advice in a professional, friendly and cost effective manner. We have a team of ten employment solicitors who are all members of the Employment Lawyers Association. Our Employment Law team recognises the need to provide expert legal knowledge, but to do so commercially and to help you resolve unwanted situations quickly.
