Constructive dismissal and unfair dismissal cover when an employee resigns or is treated as having no option but to leave due to a serious breach by the employer, or when the employer sows the seeds of resignation through unfair treatment. A solicitor in this area reviews the facts, drafts and lodges an Employment Tribunal claim (ET1), or responds to one (ET3), gathers witness statements, negotiates settlements, and advises on remedies such as compensation or reinstatement. Key decisions hinge on timing, evidence of breach, and whether the resignation was effectively forced.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The claimant faces deadlines to bring a claim and to show the employer’s breach or the threshold for constructive dismissal. A solicitor protects your position by ensuring the correct basis for the claim is pursued, handling evidence, and guiding settlement options within statutory timelines and tribunal procedures.
