Employment

With the increasingly complex law and regulations that apply to the workplace, it is crucial that both employees and employers fully understand their rights and obligations. At MacLaren Britton our employment solicitors are experienced in advising on all aspects of employment law. We offer step-by-step guidance through the legal process, providing sound, pragmatic advice whilst delivering clear and cost-effective solutions. We also ensure that the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees alike are understood and protected at all times and, where necessary, upheld by litigation.

Our expertise ranges from addressing simple issues relating to employment legislation, to guiding clients through tribunals and more complex contract issues. We offer the following services for individuals:

• Compromise agreements
  
• Representation at employment tribunals
  
• Unfair, constructive and wrongful dismissal
  
• Discrimination
  
• Contract issues

As well as administering sound advice and expert guidance, we offer contingency, or no win, no fee agreements. Legal Aid is also available, subject to eligibility. As with all of our services, we provide a free 30 minute consultation for employment issues.
