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 Manpreet Lalli

I had multiple issues with my employer whilst pregnant. Manpreet provided prompt and excellent guidance throughout the process, ensuring I understood everything clearly. Results were seen from the first letter sent to the employer as it was very detailed and didn't need to go back and forth. Made my experience extremely smooth and stress free from day one. I got the best result I could!! I highly recommend Manpreet's service to anyone requiring legal advice on employment law.
