Advice for employees and employers on dismissals, discrimination, tribunal claims and settlement agreements.
Employment solicitors in Manchester
Employment problems move quickly. Most tribunal claims have to be started within three months less one day of the dismissal or the thing you are complaining about, and you must contact ACAS before you can make a claim. We check your dates on the first call so nothing is missed.
We act for employees and for small employers. If you have been handed a settlement agreement, we explain what each clause means, tell you whether the offer is fair and sign the adviser's certificate your employer needs before it can be paid.
What we help with
Advice on whether your dismissal was fair, what you could claim and how strong your case is before you commit to anything.
For employees
A clear explanation of the agreement, whether the money is right and what you are giving up, with the adviser's certificate signed.
For employees leaving a job
Claims based on age, disability, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and the other protected characteristics.
For employees and job applicants
A check that the selection and consultation were done properly, and that your redundancy pay and notice are correct.
For employees and employers
Protection if you have been treated badly or dismissed for reporting wrongdoing at work.
For employees
Help preparing for a meeting, writing a grievance or responding to a disciplinary, before it turns into a dismissal.

How It Works
Tell us what has happened using our form or a quick call, and upload any documents so we can review them before we speak.
We go through your situation, explain your options in plain English and confirm the cost before any work starts.
We take it from there, keep you updated at every stage and stay a message away until your case is resolved.
Before we speak
You do not need all of this for the first call. Anything you can upload with your enquiry helps us give you a clearer answer sooner.
Upload them with your enquiry. Photos or scans are fine, and we keep them confidential.

A long serving employee was dismissed with no proper process. We set out the claim, opened talks with the employer through ACAS and negotiated a settlement without the need for a hearing.

FAQs
Keep copies of everything, including your contract, any letters and messages about the dismissal. Then speak to us as soon as possible, because strict time limits apply to most employment claims.
Yes, and it is short. For most claims, including unfair dismissal, you need to start ACAS early conciliation within three months less one day of the dismissal or the issue you are complaining about.
Yes. A settlement agreement is only binding if you have had independent legal advice, and we can provide that. We check the terms, explain what you are giving up and negotiate where we can.
