How UK employment lawyers can help you

In today’s fast moving employment environment, employment lawyers are becoming increasingly useful to settle an array of issues, whether contract disputes, Employment Tribunals and even discrimination at work. And such employment lawyers can help you whether you’re an individual or a business owner/manager/executive. When searching for an employment law firm to act for you, make sure they specialise in either employment law for employees or employment law for employers (businesses or other organisations). Separately, sometimes employment law issues overlap with personal injury law issues and you may need to consult a good personal injury lawyer for certain types of claims.

How do I find a good employment lawyer in the UK?

To find a good employment lawyer you should do three things:-

      1. Use a search engine, looking for the ‘best employment lawyer near me’ or similar
      2. Alternatively/additionally ask family and friends or ask about on LinkedIn
      3. Carefully study those employment law firms’ online reviews
      4. Get a shortlist of three firms from that and meet an employment lawyer from each for an initial consultation
      5. Get quotes – ideally on a fixed fee basis (harder if you’re going to an employment tribunal)
      6. Hire the employment solicitor you think is best

How much is a UK employment lawyer?

An employment lawyer in the UK could charge you anywhere from £0 (for an initial free consultation) to £100-£300 + VAT for an initial paid meeting. Then the cost of your employment lawyer going forward really depends on your circumstances. You could be charged an hourly rate (which could be £200-£300 + VAT per hour), or a fixed fee (not as easy to get if you’re going to an employment tribunal), or even a contingency fee such as ‘no win no fee’. However, no win no fee for employment law cases is quite rare unless you have a major case. It’s also worth mentioning that for settlement agreements for employees in the UK, the employer is usually responsible for paying the employment lawyer fees for this.

Employment lawyers for contract disputes

Employment lawyers can, for instance, be used to advise and act on the legality of contracts, in cases where a dispute has arisen, for both employer and employee. They can also be very helpful for non-contentious employment law or HR advice for businesses to avoid future disputes – if you can ensure your contracts are watertight and in your favour as a business, you’ll have much more certainty against future disputes or legal actions against you by disgruntled employees.

What constitutes constructive dismissal in the UK?

Under employment law in the UK, Constructive Dismissal occurs where the employer commits a serious breach of contract (sometimes known as a “repudiatory breach”) and the employee resigns, as they have effectively been “dismissed”.

Employment tribunals legal advice and representation

Sometimes, cases of unfair dismissal, discrimination at work and similar situations can go to an Employment Tribunal, and often a specialist solicitor is essential in order to guide individuals or businesses through the lengthy and complex legal process that a Tribunal can entail.
