An employment solicitor is a lawyer who advises employees or employers about workplace rights and disputes. They may help with contracts, redundancy, discrimination, disciplinary action, settlement agreements, unfair dismissal or claims against an employer. Getting advice early can help you understand your options, important time limits and the likely costs before taking action. For tailored guidance, consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), as the best approach depends on your circumstances.
