No solicitor listings are currently available by town or availability. This site does not currently recommend, vet or rate individual solicitors. Check the Law Society's Find a Solicitor service (England and Wales), Law Society of Scotland or Law Society of Northern Ireland to find independent advice.
You should consider speaking to a solicitor if: you believe your redundancy was unfair or discriminatory; you have received a settlement agreement and want someone to review and negotiate it; you are approaching the 3-month less one day deadline for an Employment Tribunal claim; or your employer is refusing to pay your statutory redundancy pay.
For a statutory settlement agreement waiving particular employment claims, independent advice from a suitably qualified adviser is required. Employers often contribute to advice costs but are not generally required by law to pay them. Confirm fees and scope before instructing an adviser.
Check relevant experience, regulation in the applicable jurisdiction and fees before instructing a solicitor; do not assume a free consultation is available.
Some solicitors offer conditional fee arrangements, but eligibility and costs vary. Ask about fees, insurance, deductions and what happens if the claim fails.
If you cannot afford or do not need a solicitor right now, ACAS (acas.org.uk) provides free advice and runs the Early Conciliation service. Citizens Advice (citizensadvice.org.uk) also offers free employment law guidance and can help you prepare a tribunal claim without legal representation.
