Employment Dismissal
What We Do
We support individuals and businesses with:
- Assessing the Legality of Dismissals - reviewing the reason and process to determine whether the dismissal is likely to be fair and lawful
- Disciplinary and Performance Procedures - advising on how to carry out fair investigations, hearings, and documentation
- Negotiating Settlements - helping resolve disputes quickly and clearly through agreed terms that protect your interests
- Notice, Pay and Exit Entitlements - ensuring legal obligations are met when it comes to notice periods, final pay, holiday, and more
- Early Conciliation Support - guiding you through the ACAS process and helping you engage in meaningful settlement discussions before a claim is issued
- Preparing for Tribunal - drafting and responding to claims (ET1/ET3), managing deadlines, and supporting you through the process
Types of Dismissal We Advise On
We provide support across a wide range of dismissal situations, including:
- Unfair Dismissal - where an employee is dismissed without a fair reason or where the proper procedure hasn’t been followed (including issues linked to redundancy or performance)
- Wrongful Dismissal - where the employer breaches the terms of the employment contract, such as failing to provide notice or pay entitlements
- Constructive Dismissal - where an employee resigns in response to a serious breach of contract by their employer
- Gross Misconduct - assessing whether dismissal without notice was justified based on the facts and legal standards
- Dismissals During Probation or Short Service - particularly where discrimination, whistleblowing, or other protected issues may be involved
If you're unsure how your situation is classified, we’ll help you make sense of it and explain your options clearly.
