What is employment law?

Employment laws ensure fair treatment and protect the rights of both employers and employees in the workplace.

Frequently asked questions: Employment Law
What are my rights if I’m being made redundant?
If you are being made redundant, you are entitled to a fair process that includes consultation, consideration of alternative roles, and statutory redundancy pay if eligible. You may also be entitled to notice pay and accrued holiday pay. We can help assess whether the process has been fair and represent you in case of any claims.
Can I challenge a settlement agreement?
Yes, settlement agreements can be negotiated. You are legally required to take independent legal advice before signing one. We can help you understand the implications and negotiate better terms, including higher compensation or changes to restrictive covenants.
What constitutes unfair dismissal?
Unfair dismissal occurs when your employer has not followed a fair reason or process for terminating your employment. Valid reasons include misconduct, capability issues, redundancy, or legality. If your dismissal does not meet these standards, you may have a claim for unfair dismissal.
Do I have a case for workplace discrimination?
If you believe you’ve been treated unfairly due to protected characteristics such as age, race, gender, disability, or religion, you may have a case under the Equality Act 2010. We can help gather evidence, assess the merits of your claim, and represent you in negotiations or tribunals.
Can you help with negotiating my employment contract?
Yes, we regularly assist with employment contract reviews and negotiations, particularly for senior executives. We ensure that your interests are protected in areas such as salary, bonus schemes, restrictive covenants, notice periods, and termination clauses.
