If you have been unfairly dismissed, forced to resign, or discriminated against at work, you may have a claim against your employer. We advise on your options clearly and without jargon.
If you have been dismissed and have at least two years’ continuous employment, you may have a claim for unfair dismissal. Your employer must have had a fair reason for dismissing you — such as conduct, capability, or genuine redundancy — and must have followed a fair procedure. Some dismissals are automatically unfair regardless of your length of service, including dismissal for whistleblowing or asserting a statutory right. Read our full guide to unfair dismissal →
Constructive dismissal occurs when your employer fundamentally breaches your contract of employment, leaving you with no realistic option but to resign. If you are considering resigning because of your employer’s conduct, it is important to take legal advice before doing so — the timing and wording of your resignation can significantly affect the strength of any claim.

The Equality Act 2010 protects employees from discrimination based on nine protected characteristics, from your first day of employment — there is no two-year qualifying period, and compensation is uncapped. Discrimination can take the form of direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, or victimisation. Read our full guide to discrimination claims →
Most employment tribunal claims must be brought within three months (less one day) of the act complained of. This is a strict deadline. Before issuing a claim, you must also notify ACAS via their early conciliation service. If you think you have a claim, do not delay in seeking advice. See solicitor vs ACAS for how independent legal advice differs from ACAS conciliation.
Many employment disputes are resolved through a settlement agreement, often at an early stage before any tribunal proceedings are issued. If your employer offers a settlement, we can advise on whether it reflects the value of your case and negotiate improved terms where appropriate.
