This area covers preventing and resolving disputes between employees and employers, including claims about unfair dismissal, discrimination, pay, disciplinary procedures, and contract terms. A solicitor in this field drafts and negotiates settlement agreements, advises on options when disputes arise, represents clients in Acas conciliation, and, if needed, raises or defends proceedings in the Employment Tribunal and, in complex cases, in the County Court or higher courts. They also help with settlements and whistleblowing concerns.
