Employment Law for Employees

DFA Law has represented clients in employment cases for over 20 years and has worked with employees and employers in both the public and private sectors.

We deal with contentious aspects of employment law such as unfair dismissal as well as non-contentious aspects like contracts of employment. Our commercial approach to cases helps to achieve the best result for clients when a negotiated settlement is the best option.  We offer advice on the following:

Unfair dismissal - No Win No Fee

Redundancy

Grievance letters

Working time regulations

Flexible working arrangements

Discrimination - No Win No Fee

Restrictive covenants

TUPE
