Employment

 



Our Employment Team at Gaylawyers routinely advises on all aspects of employment law.

We recommend to consider litigation as an option of last resort as it is common knowledge that legal proceedings are often time consuming, notoriously expensive and stressful.

A decision to issue a claim at the Employment Tribunal should never be taken lightly.

If, however, litigation is necessary, we can advise you accordingly and represent you at Trinunal proceedings; we routinely act on behalf of and represent gay clients at Employment Tribunal proceedings and the hourly rates applied by our Employment Consultants are significantly lower than those applied by traditional solicitors. We can sometimes act on behalf of Claimants on a fixed fee basis.

We aim is to resolve your issues as cost-effectively and quickly as possible and are frequently able to negotiate satisfactory settlements without the added risk and cost of formal legal proceedings. We always seek alternative solutions such as arbitration and mediation (with the assistance of ACAS) rather than Tribunal action to minimise both cost and the stress to our clients. 

If you require a free initial consultation on any employment matter, please complete the form below (or click here) and one of our Consultants will contact you, usually within 48 hours. 

Each case is approached with a clear idea of the clients' objectives, having assessed their position and strategy to achieve their intended goal. The team provides specialist advice and representation in the following areas:

-    Sex discrimination
-    Unfair, constructive and wrongful dismissal
-    Disability discrimination (HIV and other issues)
-    Sickness related disputes, including stress claims.
-    Bullying in the workplace
