Understanding employment law services

What employment solicitors do

Employment firms advise on unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, settlement agreements, contracts and tribunal claims. Strict time limits apply — most tribunal claims must begin with Acas early conciliation within about three months of the act complained of — so taking advice early is important.

Choosing an employment solicitor

Look for a firm that regularly handles your type of matter (for employees or for employers), check it is SRA-regulated, and ask about funding options — some work is covered by legal-expenses insurance.

Costs, timescales and firms near you

For a plain-English breakdown, see what an employment solicitor costs and how long an employment tribunal takes. Before instructing any firm, check it is regulated.
