Workplace Grievance Solicitors for Employees

Advising on Disciplinary Procedures at Work

Raising a grievance or facing disciplinary action at work can feel overwhelming and stressful. You may be worried about how your employer will handle the process, the impact on your career or whether your concerns will be taken seriously. Our dedicated workplace grievance solicitors are here to support employees, ensuring your concerns are properly heard and that your employer follows fair procedures.

Understanding Employment Grievance Procedures

When informal discussions fail to resolve an issue, you may need to raise a formal grievance. Employment grievance procedures are designed to protect employees who have experienced unfair treatment, bullying, discrimination or harassment. We can help you understand your rights, advise on whether raising a complaint against an employer is the right step and guide you through the entire process confidently.

How We Help Employees

Our grievance and disciplinary solicitors provide tailored advice. We can:

  • Assess your case and advise on the best way forward.
  • Draft a strong grievance letter that sets out your concerns in a clear and professional way.
  • Support you through grievance hearings, preparing you to present your case confidently.
  • Advise on outcomes and next steps if your grievance is mishandled or ignored.

With our help, you can feel reassured that your complaint is taken seriously and handled properly.

Support With Disciplinary Procedures at Work

If you are facing disciplinary procedures at work, it’s important that you know your rights. Employers must follow fair processes and if they do not, any disciplinary action could be open to challenge. We can advise you on how to respond to allegations, prepare your defence and represent you during hearings.

We also advise employees who have been suspended from work, ensuring that any suspension is carried out fairly and proportionately, and that your position is protected while the investigation takes place. 

When Employers Get It Wrong

Sadly, not every employer handles grievances and disciplinary processes correctly. If you feel your case has been mishandled, we can help you escalate matters, seek negotiation or, where necessary, take your case to an employment tribunal. Our priority is always to protect your rights and achieve a fair outcome.

"I will be eternally grateful for you getting this over the line, fighting my corner and getting the incredible result you did. It was an immense relief to be able to let go and trust the process, safe in the knowledge that you had my back in this matter and at last to feel supported. But more than all the knowledge and skill involved, I recognise and am so appreciative of the fact that the outcome may well not have been the same had you not been quite so understanding and respectful of the complexities involved - personally, emotionally and professionally..."
