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 It also covers what happens if those rights are not provided or are improperly withdrawn.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.

Julie GrangerLeigh Anne Prebble-Benn

Tagged solicitors Julie Granger and Leigh Anne Prebble-Benn

Dear Julie, I was made redundant in July and was advised by my company to speak with a solicitor about my redundancy settlement. Not only was I upset and worried about the situation, but also very scared and nervous about contacting a solicitor as this was all new to me. I contacted Kingsfords and spoke firstly to Jacqueline Chappell, who was very helpful and gave clear instructions on what I needed to send to her. Jacqueline immediately made me feel much better and told me that it would be Leigh Prebble-Benn who I would have my telephone appointment with. When I first read through my settlement agreement I didn't really understand what it all meant and so when Leigh took the time to read through it line by line to explain things in simpler terms, it wasn't so overwhelming. Leigh also gave clear instructions on what I needed to do next and everything was all done quickly. It was also very lovely to know that I could contact Leigh if I had any other concerns. Their professionalism and kindness is outstanding and I wanted to thank them both as I am truly grateful. Best wishes and kind regards

Louise Elliott

Tagged solicitor Louise Elliott

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service I received from Louise Elliott during my employment dispute. From the very beginning, Louise demonstrated not only an in-depth understanding of employment law but also an unwavering commitment to fighting for my best interests. Throughout the process, which took longer than expected, Louise was a steady source of reassurance. She kept me well-informed every step of the way, explaining complex legal terms in a way that was easy to understand and always ensuring that I was clear on my options. What truly set Louise apart, however, was the way she kept me grounded during a particularly stressful time. When things seemed like they were dragging on, Louise never lost focus, tirelessly advocating on my behalf and ensuring that my case received the attention it deserved. I always felt like my concerns were heard, and I never doubted that Louise was fully invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. Thanks to Louise's perseverance, professionalism, and exceptional client care, I was able to navigate a difficult situation with confidence and peace of mind. I can't recommend her enough to anyone in need of a lawyer who will truly fight for you.

Alessandro Mancini

Tagged solicitor Alessandro Mancini

Alex Mancini was able to assist me on short notice with review of a redundancy agreement. We were able to sit together and review the agreement in full. He took the time to explain certain portions which may have otherwise escaped my attention. We were able to adhere to the strict budget set by my company. Most importantly, I had to meet with Alex with my 11 month old in tow, so it was heartwarming for her to be received well, including providing her with toys as a distraction (although she found the papers and cables far more interesting). Thank you very much for your help and I would return if needed!

Amy Cunningham

Tagged solicitor Amy Cunningham

After enduring years of a difficult workplace environment, I felt defeated and powerless - until I found Amy and her firm. She gave me practical, cost-conscious advice every step of the way and always took the time to explain the pros, cons, and potential outcomes of each decision. Her empathetic approach and clever negotiation skills were instrumental in securing a positive outcome, and you can tell she really cares about her clients and her work. I feel incredibly grateful to have Amy in my corner during one of the most challenging periods of my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend Amy and her firm. She not only secured a favourable outcome, but provided invaluable support every step of the way. I truly don't know what I would have done without her. Thanks, Amy!
