This work covers pregnancy-related appointments and decisions in the employment setting, including how pregnancy can affect hours, duties, or reprieve from work, and the process for reasonable adjustments and fair treatment. A solicitor in this area helps clients prepare and challenge arrangements that may discriminate or disadvantage a pregnant employee, or who seek to protect rights when pregnancy intersects with clarification of roles and duties. It also covers liaising with employers, agencies, and tribunals to resolve disputes about pregnancy-related changes at work.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor flags where a decision or action could irreversibly affect an employee’s status, pay, or career progression, including dismissal or reduced hours during pregnancy. They explain the relevant protections under the Equality Act 2010, investigate potential discrimination, and help secure appropriate adjustments, return-to-work planning, and responses to any unlawful treatment, while coordinating with HR, trade unions, and, if needed, the employment tribunal.
