Yes. We do offer services for both employers and employees. Please visit our Employment Law for Businesses page for further information.
How much does an employment lawyer cost?
Costs depend on case type and complexity. Our employment law specialists offer fixed-fee initial appointments and transparent pricing to ensure you’re fully aware of costs throughout the process.
Can my employer fire me before I sign any settlement agreement?
Yes, an employer can dismiss you before a settlement agreement is signed. However, the agreement must be voluntary, and you must receive independent legal advice before it becomes legally binding. Our employment specialist solicitors can review the terms before you sign.
How long do I have to work somewhere to be protected from unfair dismissal?
In most cases, employees need two years’ continuous service to claim unfair dismissal although this is set to change in 2027. However, there are important exceptions which our unfair dismissal solicitors can advise on.
How much time do I have to bring a claim to an Employment Tribunal?
Most claims must be brought within 3 months less 1 day from the relevant act or dismissal. It is therefore crucial that early advice is sought, and employment tribunal representation is in place to help protect your position.
