Comprehensive employment law advice in Derby
Employment law can be complex, with numerous rules and regulations that are frequently updated. Our team of employment law solicitors in Derby is here to help you understand your rights and make sure you are treated fairly at work. Whether you’re facing issues such as discrimination, unfair dismissal, redundancy, or whistleblowing, we provide clear and personalised advice tailored to your situation.
If you’re facing challenges at work or need clarity about your employment rights, here’s how we can help you as an employee:
- Employment contracts – If you believe your terms and conditions have been altered without proper consultation or your consent, or if you have questions about how certain clauses in your contract might affect you, we can provide clear advice and guidance.
- Settlement agreements – Whether you’ve received a settlement offer and need help understanding it or negotiating better terms, or you’ve already agreed to a settlement and want advice on its implications, we can assist you throughout the process.
- Unfair dismissal claims – If you feel you’ve been dismissed unfairly, without valid reason, or that your employer failed to follow the correct procedures, we can help you challenge the decision and protect your rights.
- Discrimination claims – If you believe you have been discriminated against during recruitment or employment due to age, gender, disability, religion or belief, or any other protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010, we can support you in making a claim.
- Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) – If you’ve been informed that your employer is transferring the business or outsourcing your role, and you need advice on how TUPE regulations affect your employment rights, we’re here to guide you.
- Restrictive covenants – If you’re concerned that your job might be at risk, or have been formally notified of redundancy, and need advice or support through the consultation process, including if you think the procedure was not handled properly, we can assist you.
- Redundancy – If you’re facing allegations about your conduct and need advice on how to respond, your rights during the process, or possible mitigation strategies, we can provide the guidance you need to navigate disciplinary hearings.
Disciplinary proceedings – for example, if you are facing allegations regarding your conduct and need advice regarding your position and potential mitigation that you could raise or the process generally.
