    Employment Support covers practical help for individuals navigating workplace rights and disputes in England and Wales, including how to handle disciplinary and grievance procedures, unfair dismissal, discrimination, redundancy, and whistleblowing. A solicitor helps by drafting and reviewing correspondence, drafting settlement agreements, advising on tribunal claims, and guiding the client through ACAS processes, gathering evidence, preparing witness statements, and representing or advising at early conciliation and, if needed, at an employment tribunal. The work is shaped by deadlines, evidence, and regulatory standards in the workplace.

    “Being the first time I've needed a solicitor I wasn't sure what to expect, and I couldn't be happier. Anthony was informative and helpful throughout our dealings, took the time to explain everything at a level I would understand. Reasonable in every regard and got the matter resolved quickly. Could not recommend a solicitor more. I hope I won't need a solicitor again but if I do, I know who I'll be calling.”

    “I approached this company for employment law advice and couldn't have been happier with the service. Claire was fantastic and went above and beyond her role to help me. She really cared about the impact this case had on me. She added a human touch when, quite often, engaging with legal services can be daunting and a little dehumanising. I can't express how grateful I am for the advice and support I received. Many thanks”
