    Employment Law covers the rights and duties that govern work relations in England, including contracts of employment, pay, hours and leave, dismissal, discrimination and redundancy, as well as collective processes like TUPE. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates settlements, conducts disciplinary and grievance procedures, advises on transfers and restructures, prepares and pursues claims at the Employment Tribunal or civil courts, and represents clients in early negotiations or litigation when disputes arise. Practical handling often hinges on deadlines, evidence, and the interaction of statutory rights with workplace policy.

    “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.”

    “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.”
