If you’re looking for an employment solicitor, then Bowcock & Pursaill can help. We regularly work with employees and employers to help settle a variety of legal matters.
How we can help you with employment law
As employment solicitors in Staffordshire, our team has extensive experience and expertise in contracts, tribunals, claims, policies and procedures.
Our solicitors offer a non-judgmental service, irrespective of the nature of the employment, and discuss available options and associated costs with their clients before deciding upon a course of action.
Employment law is complex and changes regularly. We are proud to offer practical and up-to-date advice for employees looking for support in sensitive matters.
This area of law is vast and spans across a wide range of areas, including issues with your employment and your relationship with your employer.
Working quickly towards a solution
Time limits for many employment law claims are short, so it’s important you seek advice on any issues of concern as soon as possible.
We can advise you throughout the claim and act on your behalf with paperwork, witnesses, presenting to the Employment judge and more.
Negotiating a settlement with employment law
We can act on your behalf to negotiate a settlement. If you need support on a settlement agreement, we are highly experienced in getting the best possible outcome for our clients.
A settlement is often used to resolve an ongoing dispute in the workplace.
If you’re going through a disciplinary and grievance procedure it can be very stressful. We can advise and support you through that process to ensure you’re fairly treated.
Redundancy
Redundancy is also a common matter which requires legal advice as it can be a distressing experience.
We help advise on what redundancy payment you are due, whether you were selected for redundancy fairly and whether the correct procedures were followed.
Discrimination in the workplace
You are protected by the Equality Act (2010) from discrimination in the workplace. Usually, you can deal with discrimination at work directly by talking to your HR department or line manager yourself, but there are times when third-party mediation is required.
We help employees make a claim against their employers when a suitable resolution can not be found for discrimination issues.
