Our expert teams of solicitors can assist you with a wide range of employment law issues, including:
Disciplinary Action
If you have been the subject of disciplinary action but feel that you are being unfairly treated, it’s important that you get legal advice as soon as possible. Most businesses have set processes that need to be followed in cases like this but it could be these guidelines haven’t been adhered to in your case. That may mean you have a right to make a claim against the business.
Employment Tribunals
The majority of businesses make every effort to avoid employment tribunals and most problems get sorted out before they reach this stage. If you feel that you have been unfairly dismissed, however, you might have to take your company to court because you have no other choice.
Our Widnes employment law team of solicitors will be able to guide you through the process and provide support throughout the tribunal.

Employers have a duty of care to the people who work for them. If you have been adversely affected because of poor health and bad safety practices at your company, it’s vital that you contact a solicitor to discuss your situation.
