Employment Disputes
Are you being pursued by your former employer for alleged breaches of your contract of employment? Or do you have a claim against your employer for breach of contract? Our specialist team regularly acts for employees in claims involving miss-use of confidential information, intellectual property, and breaches of restrictive covenants. We’ll give you clear advice on a way forward.
Employment contract
At the outset, we will start by reviewing your employment contract in detail. We’ll assess whether the terms being relied on are enforceable and advise you on the strength of your legal position.
Evidence
We’ll help you collect and organise evidence to support your case. Where appropriate, we’ll guide you through making a subject access request to obtain relevant information from your employer.
Corresponding with the employer
We’ll advise you on how to respond to your employer and handle all communications on your behalf. Our letters are robust, strategic, and designed to protect your position.
Alternative dispute resolution
It is important to consider alternative dispute resolution methods. We’ll explore all the options for resolving your dispute without going to court, including settlement discussions and mediation, advising you on the best way forward.
Conducting your defence
If your employer starts legal proceedings, we’ll be with you at every stage. We’ll develop a clear strategy from day one and keep you informed throughout, so you always know what’s happening.
Questions we’re often asked
Not always. If it doesn’t protect a genuine business interest or is too broad in time or geography, it may be unenforceable.
Usually yes, especially if the claims relate to restrictive covenants. Your new employer may also receive a threat of legal action from your ormer employer, if the claims relate to restrictive covenants.
