Unfair Dismissal and Discrimination Solicitors

What do our clients say about us?
"The service I received was first class in every way, how can you improve upon perfection?"


At Patterson, Glenton & Stracey Solicitors, our team of expert solicitors brings a wealth of experience to the rapidly expanding practice area of employment law. Handling cases from the perspective of employers and employees, our solicitors handle a broad range of cases, including the following areas:

  • Unfair or wrongful dismissals
  • Discrimination
  • Redundancy
  • Equal pay
  • Unlawful deductions from wages
  • Compromise agreements
  • Employment contracts

While employment law issues can often be resolved properly without the need of court or a tribunal, we will not hesitate to bring proceedings when it is in our client's best interests to do so. We are dedicated to preparing and presenting our client's cases as skillfully as possible in order to maximise the prospects for a successful outcome.

Redundancy Advice

It is important for employers to be able to demonstrate that they have considered, and properly consulted with affected employees, whom to include in a redundancy pool. While employers have broad discretion in these matters, they can still be found liable for unfair dismissal. We can advise employers about the redundancy process, making sure they have followed all proper procedures. Likewise, we can represent employees, including providing advice on compromise agreements.

The Equality Act

This new act has the potential to result in an influx of new discrimination claims in the workplace. We can provide you with skilled advice about this issue and what you can do to prevent wrongful actions from happening. If you have an Equality Act claim to be made, we can help you pursue your desired outcome.
