This area covers preventing and resolving workplace disputes before they reach an employment tribunal. A solicitor helps employer or employee clients to settle issues through early conciliation, negotiations, and settlement agreements, and advises on handling grievances, disciplinary matters, and constructive dismissal risks to avoid formal hearings. They coordinate with HR, executives, and external mediators to secure practical, legally sound resolutions.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor negotiates terms, drafts and reviews settlement and compromise agreements, and coordinates with Acas early conciliation, mediators, and, where appropriate, the relevant tribunal procedures to prevent a hearing. They assess evidence, advise on confidentiality and post-termination arrangements, and manage risk allocation to avoid subsequent claims or appeals, within the bounds of employment law and contract terms.
