A flexible working request covers a formal, written ask by an employee to alter hours, days or how work is done, typically under the UK-wide right to request flexible working. In plain terms, it is the process an employee uses to seek changes such as a shorter week, different start times, or remote/hybrid working. A solicitor on this area helps prepare and submit the request, reviews the employer’s response, and advises on next steps if the request is refused or conditions change. The work often unfolds through regulated timeframes and formal correspondence with the employer to protect the employee’s rights and ensure a compliant handling of the request.

“I found working with Amanda great from the get go. She was realistic about timings, able to assist to help meet my goals, with guidance which meant things were done right to protect me longterm as well as within the immediate situation with clear communication throughout. I felt that I could trust her judgement and that she listened well to my needs explaining the details to ensure I understood. The meetings we had were professional yet friendly and offices well presented in a lovely location. Quote was slightly higher than other local firms, but for the service delivered worth it & would certainly use them again (Amanda in particular).”

What Flexible Working Request clients highlight
“Very helpful advice from Gemma surrounding quite a complex employment dispute. In just 3 hours she was able to review my case and provide an in-person meeting. I felt she really took the time to answer anything I had to ask professionally and was very approachable. She was completely impartial and honest about prospects and what to do next. She even included some very helpful information post-payment. I must add that I honestly felt everyone here was trying their absolute best to provide what they could within the time I was able to afford Also must mention Holly and lucy who were also beyond helpful in assisting me from start to end. An excellent experience all round!”
