All employment disputes can be challenging but discrimination in the workplace is particularly upsetting for anyone who experiences it. Discrimination is unlawful where it's on the grounds of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation or religion and belief.
We have specialist discrimination lawyers working within our employment law team. Based in Edinburgh and Glasgow, we'll provide you with expert advice on any discrimination issues that arise, either during your employment or once your employment ends.
Benefits we bring to you
Within our employment team we have a specialist discrimination and equality team that has an excellent track record of successfully pursuing discrimination and equal pay claims for our clients.
Our discrimination lawyers, based in Edinburgh and Glasgow and accredited by the Law Society of Scotland, are able to provide discrimination and equality advice over the telephone or via a video call throughout the UK.
Clear advice for employees
Discrimination and equality issues are often complex but our straight-talking employment lawyers will provide clear, practical advice to help you resolve the situation. If we need to bring a discrimination or equal pay claim in an Employment Tribunal we'll advise you on your prospects of success, the amount you might get and how best to present your claim. We'll also represent you before the Employment Tribunal, if necessary.
How we can help you
We have more Law Society of Scotland accredited employment law specialists than any other team in Scotland. The team is rated by both Chambers and Legal 500 as one of the best in Scotland.
Our specialist discrimination team has the experience and track record to support you to bring a successful claim. We've dealt with many discrimination and equal pay claims but we never lose sight of the effect that discriminatory treatment has on you as an individual.
Our discrimination team has been involved in some ground-breaking discrimination cases over the years. We can offer much needed support and advice to assist you in resolving the situation.
Our approach to fees
As well as providing clear advice we guarantee that we will be transparent on costs. We understand the importance of providing fee clarity and value for money. In most cases we can meet with you and provide you with an assessment of your situation, including our view on your options and a recommendation, for a fixed fee.
We are also able to carry out Employment Tribunal work on a fixed fee basis. For further details see fixed fee employment advice.
Please note that we are not able to provide free advice, nor do we work on a no-win, no-fee basis for this sort of advice.
