Employment Services covers the law and processes around individual work rights, workplace disputes, discipline, grievances and redundancy for private individuals. A solicitor in this area helps with drafting and reviewing employment contracts, settlement agreements, and disciplinary or redundancy correspondence; advising on unfair dismissal, discrimination, constructive dismissal, TUPE transfers, and minimum wage compliance; and representing clients in tribunals or courts when disputes arise, including drafting pleadings, witness statements, and making or responding to applications for early conciliation and remedies.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The matters here involve steps that can affect a person’s job, pay, or career trajectory: unemployment risk, reference outcomes, and potential damages or remedies if a claim proceeds to tribunal. A solicitor provides guidance on legitimate procedures, timely submissions, and protecting a client’s position within statutory time limits, ensuring enforceable settlements or successful tribunal outcomes where appropriate.
