This area covers claims arising from the English employment relationship, including unfair dismissal, discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, breaches of the contract of employment, and unlawful deductions from wages. A solicitor in this area drafts and issues claims, prepares witness statements and disclosure, negotiates settlements, and represents clients in Employment Tribunals or County Courts, dealing with employers, insurers, and, where relevant, trade unions. They advise on remedies such as compensation, re-engagement, or reinstatement, and guide clients through procedures from initial claim to final decision.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key decision points are protected by statutory rights and deadlines; missing a deadline or failing to establish a contractual breach can limit remedies. A solicitor ensures the correct tribunal or court route is pursued, secures proper disclosure, and negotiates settlements or pursues a favourable judgment, with remedies including compensation and enforcement of orders.
