Grievances and Discrimination
Advice for employees
Are you unhappy with how you are being treated at work?
You shouldn’t just have to put up with unfair or discriminatory treatment until you have found a new job and can leave.
You are probably feeling angry and upset. But you need expert advice in order to know what treatment you can challenge as unlawful, and what is the best approach in order to get you the outcome you want.
We will give you honest, impartial advice about your situation, including letting you know at an early stage as to whether your complaints are worth pursuing. Call us on 0117 290 0905 or complete a No Obligation Enquiry using the form below

Our experienced solicitors are well-placed to advise you on your particular circumstances and concerns, including such issues as:
Bullying and harassment – this may be overt or more subtle, such as side-lining or exclusion
Discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation (all protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010)
Underpayment of wages, including bonuses and commission due to you
Working hours that may be in breach of the Working Time Regulations
Suffering a detriment as a result of a whistleblowing (making a protected disclosure), raising health and safety concerns, being a part-time worker, or asserting a statutory right (such as right to be accompanied, or making a flexible working request) amongst many others.
Our fixed cost initial advice packages can help you identify if you have a legal case to pursue, and if so, what steps you need to take next.
The advice I received was clear, concise and balanced with all the pros and cons, so I was left in no doubt as to what would be the best decision. I always found you easy to get hold of either by phone or email.
