Experts in Unfair or Wrongful Dismissal Claims
We have also been involved in many high value dismissal cases, gaining our clients many millions of pounds in compensation. We can advise you of the value of your claim in your circumstances, and help you in reaching a good deal. We can also negotiate termination packages on your behalf and offer tax advice. Where you are called to attend disciplinary or dismissal hearings, we can advise you throughout the process. We can also arrange for representation at the disciplinary, dismissal or appeal hearings through our specialist service Executive Reps providing a trade union representative to accompany you.
Where you have been dismissed in circumstances that are unfair, you may have a claim for unfair dismissal. We will consider your employer's reasons for dismissing you, and the process that has been followed, in order to advise you of your rights, how to challenge the dismissal, and what compensation may be available to you, whether through the Employment Tribunal or via an out of court settlement. For more detailed information, please see our Unfair Dismissal factsheet.
If you are dismissed in circumstances where you can fairly be dismissed, but your employer has not complied with its contractual obligations to you, for example in not paying your full notice period, you may have a claim for wrongful dismissal.
You may also have a claim in circumstances where the treatment you have experienced from your employer makes it impossible for you to continue in employment, leaving you with no option but to resign. Although not an actual dismissal, a fundamental breach of contract by your employer may amount to what is known as constructive dismissal in these circumstances. Constructive dismissal claims are complex, and can be risky, so it is important to get legal advice before leaving your job to consider the circumstances. For further information, please see our Constructive Dismissal factsheet.
