What can an employment solicitor help you with?

An employment solicitor offers a range of services to safeguard your position and resolve workplace disputes. Here are some common ways they can assist:

  • Unfair or wrongful dismissal claims: Review your case, advise on its merits, and represent you at an employment tribunal if needed.
  • Redundancy advice: Check whether the redundancy process is fair and ensure you receive the correct redundancy pay.
  • Discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment: Gather evidence, file a claim, and negotiate settlements under the Equality Act 2010.
  • Employment contracts and policies: Draft, review, or negotiate terms related to contracts, non-compete clauses, and workplace policies.
  • Settlement agreements: Provide guidance on severance packages so you understand the implications before signing.
  • Grievances and disciplinary proceedings: Offer strategic advice and representation during internal procedures.

No matter the specific issue, an employment solicitor’s main goal is to protect your legal rights and help you reach the best possible outcome.

How much does an employment solicitor cost in the UK?

The cost of hiring an employment solicitor depends on factors like experience, case complexity, and how long the dispute lasts. Many solicitors charge hourly rates ranging from £150 to £300 or more. Others may offer fixed fees for specific tasks, such as drafting an employment contract or advising on a settlement agreement.

If you’re seeking compensation—say, for unfair dismissal or discrimination—some firms might propose a no win, no fee arrangement, but this often depends on the strength of your case. You may also be able to book an initial consultation (sometimes free or at a reduced fee, typically £50 to £150) to discuss your situation and estimate costs.

Don’t forget to check whether you have legal expenses insurance (often part of home or vehicle policies) or if you’re a trade union member, as these can cover some or all of your legal fees. This can significantly reduce your expenses and help you focus on resolving the dispute effectively.
