Top 10 of 3,550 law firms for Flexible Working Request, Employment

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decision is whether to approve or refuse the request, since irreversible changes to working patterns can affect pay, benefits and career progression. A solicitor can identify when a manager has failed to properly consider the request, advise on valid business reasons for refusal, and assist with any subsequent steps such as negotiating alternative arrangements or escalating to an employment tribunal if required. The process is time-bound and hinges on a compliant written response and any agreed variations to terms and conditions of employment.

Kingsley and Andrew have supported us superbly in navigating an extremely sensitive situation within our company. They have taken on board everything we have asked, and adapted the actions and documentation to suit our needs perfectly. We could not recommend Kingsley or Andrew highly enough.

I spoke with Janine and explained that I was neurodivergent and they may need to be a bit patient with me. She was absolutely fantastic advised it wasn’t an issue and she would be happy to go at my speed. That was a huge relief to me and I knows then I was in good hands.

Lorraine Wilde

Tagged solicitor Lorraine Wilde

I have used Lorraine on a number of occasions over many years for employment related issues. Lorraine has always provided clear and concise advice and dealt with all issues raised. My wife and I have been so impressed that we recently engaged with BWK to complete our wills and LPA's. I will definitely use BWK in the future.
