Maternity and paternity rights cover a person’s entitlement to leave and pay around the birth or adoption of a child, and the protections against unfair treatment linked to pregnancy or parenthood. A solicitor in this area helps clients understand eligibility for Statutory Maternity Pay, Maternity Allowance, Paternity Leave and Pay, and Shared Parental Leave, and what to do if these rights are denied or mishandled. The work often involves advising on timelines, communicating with employers, and pursuing claims in the Employment Tribunal if necessary.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The specialist protects a client’s position when crucial, time-bound decisions about leave, pay and reinstatement must be made; mistakes can lead to loss of pay, gaps in employment rights, or unfair treatment. A solicitor ensures correct deadlines are met, gathers necessary evidence and paperwork, and can challenge refusals or dismissals through ACAS early conciliation and, if required, an Employment Tribunal claim.

Tagged solicitor Jennifer Cafferky

Had great service from Jennifer Cafferkey, Associate Solicitor, ably assisted by Louise. It was understandably a stressful situation but through the professional support provided by Jennifer and the team, it was made as easy as it could be producing a successful outcome. Jennifer and the law firm are easily recommended.

Tagged solicitor Lorna Watts

LDJ have always hooked after me when I need it whether it has been a Will or an employment issue. It is a very friendly environment and everyone does go the extra miles. Nothing was too much bother including a last minute request for a last minute appointment which was possible. I would certainly recommend them as the go to Solicitors in the town.
