Unfair Dismissal

Advice on unfair dismissal claims

A claim for unfair dismissal arises if an employer has no fair reason for the dismissal and / or does not follow a fair procedure. Generally speaking, an employee has to have 2 years continuous service before they are eligible to pursue a claim for unfair dismissal (although there are some very limited exceptions to this).

If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, it is important to seek advice as soon as possible as there are strict time limits for pursuing a claim.

We will consider your employer’s reasons for dismissing you and the process that has been followed in order to advise you of your legal rights, and the merits and value of any potential unfair dismissal claim. We will advise you how to challenge your dismissal whether via the appeal process, correspondence, ACAS Early Conciliation or at an Employment Tribunal, and will provide you with support at every step of the way.
