What is Employment Law?
Employment Law is a body of law that governs the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees in the workplace. It covers a wide range of issues, including contracts of employment, discrimination, harassment, dismissal and more.
What are my rights as an employee?
As an employee, you have a number of legal rights, including the right to a safe working environment, the right to be paid at least the national minimum wage, the right to request flexible working arrangements, and the right to not be discriminated against or harassed.
What should I do if I am facing an employment law issue?
If you are facing an employment law issue, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. One of our solicitorswho specialises in employment law can help you understand your legal rights, guide you through the legal process and represent you at Tribunal if necessary.
What is a settlement agreement?
A settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement between an employer and employee that sets out the terms of a settlement. This typically involves the employee agreeing to waive their right to take legal action in exchange for a financial payment or other benefits. It is important to seek legal advice before signing a settlement agreement to ensure that it is fair and reasonable.

- Medium complexity case: £9,000 – 14,000 (excluding VAT)
