Top 10 of 3,549 law firms for Meal and Rest Breaks, Employment

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers the statutory entitlement to breaks during work and any daily meal breaks that workers must be offered under UK law. It explains how long a worker may rest or eat during a shift and when a break can be taken. It also covers what happens if those rights are not provided or are improperly withdrawn. Rights are primarily set out in the Working Time Regulations and related rules.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The right to a meal or rest break is time-bound and linked to shift length, with specific consequences if an employer refuses or limits breaks. A solicitor can explain how breaches affect the worker’s position, the potential remedies, and the enforceable steps under the Working Time Regulations and associated guidance, including how to pursue a claim in a suitable tribunal or court.

I had quite a complicated (to me) settlement agreement that needed ratifying. Tom Burton Wills was reassuring and kowledgable and the process was completed with the minmum of fuss and time. I would not hesitate in recommending him to others.

Tim Grainger

Tagged solicitor Tim Grainger

Having to deal with the employment matter I had was very stressful and damaging to my mental and physical health. So I am happy to say I had a really smooth and supportive experience when put in touch with Fiona Bruce & Co LLP, specifically Tim Grainger and his Secretary Rachal Ward. A friend recommended me Tim's services after they had Tim support them with their own employment case. I asked for contact details and reached out. It wasn't long before Tim got back to me and we started chatting. He was really approachable, friendly and made me feel I could talk to him and discuss my matter without feeling against a countdown or timed meter; this was especially appreciated due to my neurodivergent traits. At the time, I wasn't in immediate need for Tim to take action, so the fact I could build a rapport, update him and ask for small bits of advice throughout my case was really assuring and reduced stress. When I did need Tim's services a few months later - he was honest, clear and timely to provide me good advice and use his legal knowledge to break down concerns and confusion I had while also fighting my corner to get me the best deal I could to my case. Long story short, Tim was able to help me alongside my union put my employer into checkmate and got me a good settlement where all the admin and documentation was easy to access and come in timely manner thanks to Rachel. I work in the video games space that sadly sees not the best treatment for workers, so I am happy to recommend services based on my experience :)

Elizabeth Barrett

Tagged solicitor Elizabeth Barrett

I have never had to request the services of a solicitor for an employment issue before, but having suddenly found myself embroiled in a dispute with my employer, a friend kindly recommended Downs Solicitors. As soon as I was introduced to Liz (Elizabeth Barrett), I immediately felt a sense of reassurance. Liz offers a caring, honest, friendly and approachable manner in equal measures to her professional knowledge, dedication to her work, and a purpose and passion to achieve the desired outcome for her clients. She is an asset to your firm.

Richard Jonathan Ennis

Tagged solicitor Richard Jonathan Ennis

Very friendly, empathetic, highly experienced and professional. Richard was not only highly diligent in his work, but but very thoughtful about strategy on how to approach and put across his counsel in layman's terms so it was easy to understand conclude on instructions. Very collaborative, yet led firmly with his expertise.
