Recognising the importance of a diverse and inclusive workplace, we help clients navigate and mitigate against the sensitive and legally complex employee issues which can arise.
Whether you’re developing diversity and anti-harassment policies, have a sensitive issue or grievance or need advice on defending a discrimination claim, our experienced lawyers offer pragmatic, strategic and sensitive support. We can also advise on equal pay and pay gap reporting.
We understand that allegations of discrimination at work (which can often include bullying) can significantly impact your business, damaging workplace relationships and posing serious reputational and legal risks. We help you navigate these sensitive issues with a focus on resolving conflicts at an early stage so minimising potential fallout.

Sensitive to the personal impact a claim can have on those involved, we will support you throughout the process – please see our employment disputes and tribunal litigation page.
