Employment law solicitor

Advice and representation for employees and employers. From employment contracts and restrictive covenants to wage claims and reorganisations.

Work is an important part of life. When problems arise at work, they affect your income, your career and often your wellbeing. Our employment solicitors advise employees and employers on every aspect of employment law, from the start of an employment relationship to its end.

Employment law for employees

Has your salary been stopped, have you been suspended, or does your employer want to change your terms of employment? We assess your position and tell you honestly what your options are. Where possible we resolve the matter by negotiation; where necessary we go to court.

  • Employment contracts and terms
  • Restrictive covenants
  • Wage claims and unpaid salary
  • Suspension and disciplinary procedures

Employment law for employers

For employers we provide practical advice that fits the way your organisation works. Read more about employment law for employers.

Dismissal

Dismissal has a major impact on your income and your future. Read more on our page about dismissal.

Frequently asked questions

When should I contact an employment solicitor?

As early as possible. Many problems can be prevented or limited with timely advice, and some deadlines in employment law are short.

My employer has stopped paying my salary. What can I do?

Stopping salary is only allowed in specific situations. We assess whether your employer is entitled to do so and can claim the salary on your behalf.

Is a restrictive covenant always valid?

No. Whether a restrictive covenant is valid and enforceable depends on the type of contract, the wording and your interests. We review the clause for you.

Can I be suspended without a reason?

Suspension must be justified and proportionate. We advise you on your rights during a suspension and on the steps you can take.

Do you also advise employers?

Yes. We advise employers on contracts, sickness, performance, reorganisations and dismissal.
