This area covers how employers manage staffing when business needs change, including redundancies and workforce restructuring. A solicitor specialises in advising on redundancy procedures, consultation requirements, selecting employees for redundancy, and documenting outcomes. They draft and check redundancy notices, handle leave and severance calculations, assist with redeployment and fair process, and represent clients in any necessary ACAS talks or tribunal claims arising from business-driven job losses. The work centers on lawful, timely, and properly managed transitions in response to company needs.

Head of Employment

“I honestly can't recommend Winston Solicitors enough. I reached out to them when I was in need of employment law advice and received a call from Samira. She was friendly and gave me some advice when my world had been turned upside down. Samira handled my negotiation for me, along with her excellent colleague Dervinder. They made me feel comfortable, stood up for me and my rights, and negotiated a great package. I would wholeheartedly recommend them and would not hesitate to contact Winston Solicitors if I ever need legal help again.”

Roy Magara
Solicitor Advocate
Works with Shahrzad Seifi
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot thank Roy and Esther enough for their support and professionalism throughout what has been a very difficult 16 months. From preparing my case and working through the evidence to negotiating a settlement, they were there to guide me through every stage of the process. Roy provided clear advice and guidance, while Esther was always helpful, responsive and supportive throughout. The whole process was stressful at times, but having them in my corner made a real difference. I’m grateful for the time, effort and dedication they put into helping me reach a resolution. Thank you both for everything you have done for me. I would happily recommend Roy and Esther to anyone needing support with an employment dispute.”

“I came to Slater Heelies after a disaster with previous solicitor. Alex from the onset was friendly, reassuring, professional but firm. Many times she had to challenge my perspectives and encouraged strength. Alex had an objective approach and was always quick and prompt in replying to emails and calls. Her in depth knowledge was reassuring and was able to relay in a succinct manner that was easy to digest. I felt with Alex’s friendly manner that she always had my best interests at the heart and was extremely reassuring during the whole process which was really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using her again… but at the same time hope that there would never be a need. Thank you ”

“Gareth demonstrated exceptional responsiveness from the outset. After I contacted him late one evening, he arranged a call for the following morning and provided tailored, reassuring advice during a period that was both new and unsettling for me due to my recent redundancy. He remained attentive at every stage through to the signing of the agreement and supported me in securing a positive outcome. I would be pleased to engage his services again and recommend him without hesitation.”
