Claims against your employer

Unfair treatment at work can leave you feeling powerless

If you are experiencing an issue at work and feel you have been treated badly by your employer, our team of expert employment law solicitors in Cardiff and Newport is able to offer specialist advice on a wide range of work-based scenarios.

Whatever situation you may be facing, our wealth of experience means we can offer comprehensive and clear guidance on what to do next.
Our expertise covers all areas of employment law, including:

Settlement agreements
Redundancy
Tribunal proceedings
Discrimination claims
Unfair dismissal
Breach of contract
Formal grievances
Disciplinary proceedings

It is important that you fully understand your rights before signing any agreements your employer might ask you to. The law protects you by requiring that you take independent legal advice in order for the agreement to be binding.

Our support goes beyond simply advising you on the legal effect of any agreement your employer might be proposing or any potential claim we think you may have. Our lawyers will advise you on the best strategy based on your individual circumstances regarding unfair treatment at work, and will be on hand to assist you with any negotiations or difficult conversations that need to be had.
