Employment relationships can break down for many reasons, and when they do, the consequences can be stressful and financially significant. Whether you are facing redundancy, unfair dismissal, discrimination, or another employment issue, specialist employment dispute solicitors can provide the legal advice and representation you need. At Graham Evans & Partners Solicitors, our experienced employment law team supports employees through a wide range of employment disputes, helping them protect their employment rights and secure the best possible outcome.
Employment law is a complex area of law, and early advice from qualified employment law solicitors can be critical when an issue with your employer arises.
Understanding Employment Disputes in the Workplace
An employment dispute usually occurs when an employee and their employer disagree about their workplace rights and responsibilities. These disputes can get complicated, involving things like statutory employment law, contractual agreements, and company procedures. At Graham Evans & Partners Solicitors, our experienced employment law team offers clear, practical, and expert legal advice to help employees get the support they need.
Some of the most common employment law issues include:
- When an employer is accused of unfair dismissal or is making a claim
- Redundancy disputes
- Discrimination claims, including sexual orientation
- Grievance and disciplinary matters
- Breach of contract and settlement agreements
- Restrictive covenants and post-employment restrictions
Our team of employment solicitors will take the time to gain a clear understanding of your situation and provide advice tailored to your needs and plans.
Employment Law Advice for Employees
Unfair Dismissal and Redundancy
If your employer is letting you go and you think they’re being unfair or that the redundancy process was all wrong, we can help. Our employment law solicitors will advise you on whether you can bring a claim.
Important – you only have a limited time to make an employment tribunal claim. Most claims need to be made within three months of you losing your job. The sooner you get some professional advice, the better.
Discrimination and Workplace Disputes
Discrimination claims can happen when someone is being treated unfairly because of personal characteristics like age, disability, gender, race, or sexual orientation. Our solicitors have experience in advising on discrimination claims and workplace disputes, helping employees who are facing these kinds of issues.
Employment Tribunals and ACAS Early Conciliation
Before most claims can proceed to an employment tribunal, employees must engage in ACAS early conciliation. Our employment solicitors guide clients through this process, communicating directly with employers and ACAS to explore early resolution.
If a matter cannot be resolved, we provide representation in employment tribunal claims and, where appropriate, in the High Court. Our aim is always to resolve disputes efficiently, but we are fully prepared to pursue litigation where necessary.
Settlement Agreements and Grievance Procedures
Many employment disputes can be resolved with a settlement agreement. Our employment dispute solicitors will carefully review and negotiate these kinds of agreements to make sure that your rights and financial interests are properly looked after.
We also work with employers to help them follow proper disciplinary and grievance procedures. If these procedures are all wrong, it can make a big difference to your chances in an employment tribunal.
