    This work covers how a Welsh employer handles an employee who is not meeting expected performance standards, and the steps taken when capability is in doubt, applying Welsh and UK employment law and the ACAS code. A solicitor in Wales will draft and review disciplinary and capability procedures, gather and present evidence, and represent the client at hearings or appeals in Wales and, where relevant, in cross-border matters.

    Angela West Your solicitor Angela West Director 5.0 from 2 client reviews
    “I was very impressed with the service I received from start to finish. Thank you, firstly, for meeting the requirements set by my ex-employer - your flexibility was very much appreciated. Angela West made the process simple and it was a pleasure dealing with her. She was clear and concise in her dealings with me and I never once felt condescended to. The lasting impression I have means that when I next need a solicitor, I will return to JCP without hesitation.”
