Unfair or Constructive Dismissal
Strategic advice for higher‑value claims and negotiated exits.
Employment Tribunal cases are rarely about "being right" — they're about outcomes. Because each side often bears their own costs, the key question is whether the value and leverage justify the route you take. We focus on matters typically valued at £10,000+, and on senior/professional exits where reputation and future earnings matter.
Who this is for
We focus on higher-value unfair and constructive dismissal matters — typically claims likely to exceed £10,000 or where reputation and career risk are significant.
