What should I do first if I think I have been unfairly dismissed?

If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, seek initial legal advice promptly. Gather key documents such as your contract, emails, and payslips. A solicitor can advise on deadlines, potential remedies, and whether an employment tribunal claim is appropriate.

How can a settlement agreement help resolve a dispute with my employer?

A settlement agreement can resolve a dispute without tribunal proceedings. It sets out agreed terms such as compensation and references. Independent legal advice ensures the agreement protects your rights and is legally binding.

What constitutes workplace discrimination and how can it be addressed?

Workplace discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of a protected characteristic such as age, race, gender, or disability. Document incidents, follow internal procedures where possible, and seek legal advice to assess claims and next steps.

How should I review or negotiate my employment contract?

Having an employment contract reviewed helps identify restrictive covenants, notice periods, and key entitlements. A solicitor can explain implications, negotiate amendments, and help safeguard your pay, benefits, and future rights.

When is it appropriate to involve a workplace harassment solicitor?

If you experience unwelcome conduct that creates a hostile or intimidating work environment, seek advice promptly. A solicitor can guide you on internal complaints, protective steps, and legal remedies available.

What are the differences between wrongful dismissal and unfair dismissal?

Wrongful dismissal relates to breach of contract, such as failure to give proper notice. Unfair dismissal concerns statutory protections around the fairness of the dismissal process and reason. Legal advice can clarify which claim applies to your situation.

Can I claim compensation for a workplace injury?

If you have suffered an injury or illness caused by your work, you may be entitled to compensation. Legal advice can help assess liability, gather medical evidence, and guide you through the claims process.

Is a barrister required for an employment tribunal case?

Many employment tribunal cases are handled by solicitors alone. For complex or high-value matters, a barrister may be instructed for advocacy. This decision is usually made after an initial case assessment.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status.
