Wrongful and unfair dismissal for individuals

We advise employees who have been dismissed without being given proper notice, or where the employer's decision was not legally justified. As experts in the fast moving world of employment law we can help with all aspects of these cases to achieve the best possible outcome.

Our team of employment specialists can help with all relevant issues, including:

• drafting a claim
• notice entitlements
• negotiating with employers
• dismissals for disciplinary reasons
• dismissals for performance issues
• bullying

If you think you’ve been wrongfully or unfairly dismissed, we would encourage you to get in touch with us at the earliest opportunity. Taking advice before taking action will allow you to plead your case in the most effective way and reduce the risk of weaknesses and inconsistencies in your claim.

We represent employees from a wide variety of backgrounds, from senior executives and professionals to people in more junior or low level roles. Our clients come from all sectors, including banking and finance; education; sport; and the public services.

Many of the claims we handle are funded by legal expense insurance. We can tell you how to check whether you are covered and help with dealing with insurers.

We understand that bringing a claim can be a difficult, stressful experience and we aim to provide you with the support you need throughout the process.

We’re one of a relatively small number of employment law teams that is highly recommended in The Legal 500.

Our team is praised for their expertise, client service and personal manner with clients noting "excellent client focus" and "client care, they are happy to discuss matters and think of commercial solutions."
