When resolving such a claim you need to exhaust all avenues (e.g. ACAS), may progress your claim to an employment tribunal as they are an employment law specialist and they will be in a position to represent you.  This article looks at unfair dismissal and tribunal solicitors but remember there are solicitors in all kinds of areas including redundancy solicitors, family law solicitors etc.

Reasons for unfair dismissal from your employer can be numerous. Age discrimination and time off for antenatal care are amongst many other reasons for you to claim for unfair dismissal. Employers in fact, quite worryingly do not have a grasp of employment law that is acceptable. As a result of their ignorance towards the law, most employers will not even know they have acted unlawfully. Therefore unfair dismissal claims normally arise from this.

If your employer has dismissed you and you have done absolutely nothing wrong and you have been doing the job to a satisfactory level, then you could take your employer to the employment tribunal for unfair dismissal. You may also have such a claim if your employer has failed to follow the correct procedure(s) to dismiss you (e.g. there disciplinary procedures will show the statutory requirements).

You will have to leave your place of work if the unfair dismissal resulted in constructive dismissal, which on occasions, it does. Constructive dismissal may arise where an employee is experiencing harassment in the workplace, or when they just feel that it is unreasonable for them to return to work.

Employment Law specialist solicitors should be a last resort as if your case progressed to the employment tribunal stage, then a judge would look firstly at what else you have tried to do. With this in mind, you may wish to pursue the employer’s ‘grievous complaints policy’ (where they will have a policy for you to pursue if you have already left the company). Failing that, you may also wish to liaise with the ‘Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service’ (ACAS).

An employment law solicitor can be approached once all other avenues have been explored and exhausted. Such a firm will assess your case in an attempt to find out how likely you would be to win in an employment tribunal. If you want to win, this simply isn't enough). Moreover, it would be highly unlikely that the firm of solicitors would waste both of your time and take the case on in the first place.

If you are armed with what you would consider to be a good back-up of evidence (e.g. witness statements etc), your claim will then stand a good chance. It is virtually impossible, in an employment setting, to find anyone to stick up for you. Understandably, people are scared over losing their own jobs and obviously, this will be of no consolation to the person that has been unfairly dismissed. You can only rely on yourself and a good solicitor, if you are lucky enough to find one, when it comes to employment law.

To try and ensure that you find the very best employment law solicitor, why not log on to a database that contains independent reviews of firms within your area. This is where previous clients of the solicitors have left their impartial remarks and this is such a useful tool for you, when looking to find the very best representation.  You may however, need to look further afield to maybe London solicitors if you are not successful in finding a solicitor in your area. Just type solicitors London into your search engine.
