Employment Law

Legislation governing virtually every aspect of the employment relationship between the Employer and the Employee has grown (and continues to grow) rapidly. The complexity of employment law and the impact on day to day employment issues, has resulted in many more cases of employees needing timely advice on issues that have arisen in the workplace.

How can we help?

If you have any queries about:

  • bullying/harassment;
  • compromise agreements;
  • contracts of employment;
  • discrimination - gender, race, disabiity, religion or sexual orientation;
  • equal pay;
  • grievances - disciplinary proceedings;
  • maternity/paternity/parental rights;
  • redundancy;
  • TUPE;
  • unfair dismissal;

then Wheelers LLP employment team has very extensive experience of advising and representing employees on these and other issues.

Funding

There are a number of options which may be available to enable us to help you secure your preferred outcome in an affordable way, including:

  • an agreed hourly rate;
  • legal insurance funding;
  • in some cases we may be willing to act on a 'no win - no fee' basis.

In employment law, the old adage “prevention is better than cure” is often especially true. Many disputes that end up in employment tribunals could have been avoided by having clear and comprehensive contracts and policies agreed with employers. The optimum time to take advice is therefore when you are undergoing a proposed change in employment circumstances, or on reviewing your existing terms in response to a change in the law or other circumstances.

We welcome the opportunity to meet with potential clients so as to discuss their requirements and explain ways in which we might assist. If you would like more information, please contact Mel McCrum or Simona Hamblet, both members of the Employment Lawyers Association.

Testimonial

My job with a large national employer was deleted in a reorganisation and after many months of uncertainty and stress they sought to redeploy me against my wishes into a job which I considered to be unsuitable. The employer repeatedly ignored my concerns until I asked Mr Mel McCrum of Wheelers Solicitors to take up my case. It was a great relief to have Mr McCrum’s carefully considered advice and to have the strength to deal with my employers HR and legal departments on an equal basis. Mr McCrum negotiated a settlement which I was pleased to accept.
