Unfair, Constructive, and Wrongful Dismissal
Losing your job unfairly or in breach of your contract is more than just stressful, it can be life-changing. Whether you’ve been dismissed without reason, forced out by poor treatment, or denied your contractual rights, you don’t have to face it alone. We help you challenge dismissal decisions, secure fair settlements, and bring claims when needed. If your dismissal feels wrong, speak to us today.
Initial case assessment
We assess whether your claim meets the legal tests, explain the time limits, and estimate any compensation you might be entitled to.
Managing ACAS Early Conciliation and Settlement
Before making a claim, you’ll need to notify ACAS. We handle the process for you, protecting deadlines and exploring settlement options.
Preparing and presenting your case
From drafting your ET1 claim form to representing you in hearings, we make sure your case is clear, well-evidenced, and confidently put forward.
Negotiation and mediation options
We support you through without prejudice negotiations, mediation or judicial mediation, helping resolve things fairly and efficiently where possible.
Responding to applications and case management
If your employer applies to strike out your claim or asks for costs, we act fast to protect your position and handle Tribunal directions as well as case management tasks.
Appealing and enforcing decisions
If the result isn’t right, or if your employer refuses to pay, we pursue Employment Appeal Tribunal challenges and enforce Tribunal awards if payment is withheld.
Questions we’re often asked
It’s when you’re dismissed without a fair reason or without following the right process under UK law.
If your employer seriously breaches your contract and you resign because of it, this can amount to constructive dismissal.
This happens when you’re dismissed in breach of your contract, often because you weren’t given proper notice or pay in lieu.
You usually have three months less one day from the dismissal or resignation date. Starting ACAS Early Conciliation pauses this.
For unfair dismissal, usually yes. But some claims (like whistleblowing or discrimination) don’t require any minimum service.
Not always. Many cases settle first. If not, we’ll represent you at the Tribunal.
