Discrimination claims

We provide advice, assistance, and tribunal representation in relation to all discrimination claims and our lawyers are experienced negotiators as well as litigators. If you feel you have been dismissed or treated less favourably because you have a protected characteristic or because of something arising from your protected characteristic (including your employer’s failure to make reasonable adjustments if you are disabled) one of our expert lawyers will be able to advise you on the merits of your claim and help you navigate the process feeling both heard and supported.  We believe that an early negotiated settlement is almost always the best outcome and, if it can be achieved, the costs (both financial and emotional) of going to the employment tribunal will be avoided.  However, that isn’t always possible and if litigation is the only way forward, we will do our best to ensure you get the representation you need in the most cost proportionate way.  We work on the basis of fixed-fees for stages of work so that costs are always agreed up front and manageable.
