Employment law services for individuals
Our employment solicitors in Norwich have a wide range of expertise which we use to advise individuals seeking support.
Our expertise includes, but is not limited to:
Unfair Dismissals
If you believe that you have been unfairly dismissed by your employer, then you may be in a position to make a claim. To get this process underway, you can speak to a member of our skilled team, where you can discuss your situation in detail.
Disciplinary, Grievance, Performance & Capability
Grievance, disciplinary and performance issues need to be properly addressed by employers so that employees know exactly where they stand and what options are available to them if there is an alleged discrepancy.
Our employment law solicitors in Norwich understand just how daunting it can be to face these types of proceedings and will make sure to provide close personal support during a difficult time.
Change of Employer & TUPE
If your employer has been bought by another company, this could understandably leave you feeling anxious about what will happen next and whether your job will remain secure. Seeking guidance from our employment law solicitors in these scenarios is essential.
Our Norwich solicitors are here to support you through what we recognise can be a daunting period, ensuring the correct process is undertaken.
Constructive Dismissal
If you feel as though you need to leave your job, perhaps due to discrimination, bullying or harassment, you could be eligible to make a claim for constructive dismissal compensation.
Employers have a duty to their employees, and our employment solicitors in Norwich can provide the advice and guidance you need to understand your situation. This will include advising on whether you are eligible for a constructive dismissal claim.
Contracts of Employment
Your contract is incredibly important and will govern your terms of employment. It is, therefore, essential that you clearly understand its terms and if there are any implications for your future employment.
Our solicitors have a broad scope of knowledge and considerable expertise in providing specialist advice and guidance on contracts of employment and can advise you accordingly.
Discrimination & Equal Pay
There are strict laws in relation to workplace discrimination. If your employer is guilty of discrimination, this will likely have a huge impact on your life and your family.
Our employment law solicitors in Norwich can guide you through your legal options, including taking a discrimination claim to the employment tribunal.
Redundancy, reorganisation & restructure
Being made redundant can be upsetting and leave you unsure of what steps you should take next, such as seeking redundancy pay. Our expert solicitors in Norwich understand this and are ready to guide you through this complicated period.
Settlement agreements
Settlement agreements can help both employees and employers reach a compromise during an employment issue. They can be very valuable, so long as they are well-thought-out and take a range of factors into consideration.
Our solicitors can assist with walking employees through a settlement agreement, explaining any terms you don’t understand and advising on the potential limitations.
