Top 10 of 3,550 law firms for Maternity and Paternity, Employment

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Rachael Scowcroft

Tagged solicitor Rachael Scowcroft

I have known Rachael for well over 15 years, and when I was recently made redundant, she was the first person I turned to for guidance. Facing a settlement agreement from my employer was stressful and unfamiliar territory, but Rachael stepped in with exactly the support I needed. She assisted me with the legal aspects of the settlement, ensuring I fully understood my rights and the implications of every detail. On several occasions, I needed to call her for clarification or reassurance, and each time she was consistently professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. Rachael’s calm approach and expertise made a difficult situation far easier to navigate. Her support was invaluable, and she handled everything with the highest level of professionalism. Overall, Rachael is a credit to her profession — someone you can trust, rely on, and feel genuinely supported by during challenging times.
