  • Redundancy – an employee may need advice on their rights when redundancy is looming.
  • Discrimination and bullying – if an employee feels they are being discriminated against, or bullied, and the matter has not been resolved internally the employee may benefit from the advice of an employment lawyer.
  • Accusations – if an employee finds themselves of being accused of something they have not done in the workplace they may need urgent legal advice.
