Workplace Grievances
If something’s gone wrong at work, you have the right to raise it. Whether it’s bullying, discrimination, unfair treatment, or whistleblowing, your employer must follow a proper process, and under the ACAS code. That means a fair hearing, the right to be accompanied, and a clear outcome. If they don’t follow the rules or if things escalate, we’re here to protect your position and guide you through it.
Case review and legal assessment
Start with a clear view of where you stand. We’ll highlight legal issues like discrimination or whistleblowing, assess your position, and explain your options.
Grievance letter drafting
Need to submit a formal complaint? We can write or review your grievance to meet legal and internal policy standards, helping you stay protected and make your case effective.
Strategy for hearings
Going into a hearing can be daunting. You’ll get support with scripts, evidence, and tactics to stay calm and in control before, during and after the meeting.
Negotiation and settlement
Sometimes a quiet resolution is best. We can help you negotiate informal resolutions, contractual changes, or settlement agreements with tax-efficient compensation.
Loss calculation and ACAS support
We help you understand your losses, prepare a detailed schedule of loss, and pursue ACAS Early Conciliation.
Tribunal representation
If your case progresses to Tribunal, we’ll draft your claim (ET1), prepare supporting evidence and statements, as well as represent you through every stage.
