Experts in Sex Discrimination Claims

Our specialist team deals with hundreds of sex discrimination cases every year, several of which have had a significant impact on legislation. We understand all the angles in this type of case, including its sensitive nature. We also have significant experience of discrimination in maternity-related matters. Whatever the nature of the sex discrimination you feel you have experienced, our solicitors can provide you with expert advice in a sensitive and understanding manner.

In employment, sex discrimination is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010 and since 2006 the public sector has been bound by a "gender equality duty" which obliges public sector employers to proactively promote equality in the workplace. Despite this, thousands of people a year are still subjected to unfair discriminatory treatment in the workplace because of their gender.

Although many high-profile sex discrimination and equal pay cases are covered in the broadcast and print media, a significant number go unreported. Some victims are embarrassed to come forward while others are simply unaware of their legal rights and the protection they are entitled to by law.
