• Unfair dismissal claims – If you think you’ve been dismissed unfairly, or your employer didn’t follow the proper process, we can advise you on how to challenge the decision and protect your rights.
  
• Discrimination claims – If you’ve been treated unfairly at work because of your age, gender, race, disability, religion, 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 your job is affected by a business sale or outsourcing, we’ll explain how TUPE rules protect your rights.
  
• Restrictive covenants – We’ll help you understand any restrictions in your contract after you leave a job, such as non-compete or confidentiality clauses.
