Advising Employees

Our Employment Law team can advise and support employees with issues they are encountering with their work or employer.

Issues at work can arise suddenly and often at a time when you still need to maintain a day-to-day working relationship with your employer. At TWM Solicitors, we understand how important it is to feel supported and informed. Whether you’re facing contract changes, dealing with unfair treatment, or simply unsure about your rights, our Employment Law team is here to provide confidential, practical advice so you can protect your position and make confident decisions.

Supporting you throughout your working life

Employment law support doesn’t just apply when disputes arise. Many employees benefit from legal advice during the course of their employment, especially when facing:

  • Changes to contractual terms or working conditions
  • Concerns about discrimination, harassment, or bullying
  • Issues with performance management or disciplinary procedures
  • Questions about sick leave, family rights, or holiday entitlement
  • Problems with pay, bonuses, or unlawful deductions
  • Being placed on garden leave or facing suspension
  • Pressure to accept a Settlement Agreement or exit package.

We offer confidential, strategic advice to help you understand your rights, assess your options, and take appropriate action – whether that means raising a grievance, negotiating with your employer, or preparing for formal proceedings.

Early intervention

Many workplace issues can be resolved before they escalate into a formal dispute. Seeking legal advice early allows you to:

  • Clarify your legal position
  • Respond confidently to internal processes
  • Avoid common pitfalls that may weaken your case
  • Preserve evidence and protect your interests.

Tailored advice for your situation

We understand that every workplace situation is unique. That’s why we take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and provide advice that’s tailored to your circumstances and goals.

Our solicitors are experienced in advising employees across a wide range of sectors and seniority levels – from junior staff to senior executives.

FAQs

Understanding your workplace rights can feel overwhelming. Below are answers to some of our most common queries.

Yes. You don’t need to wait until your employment ends to seek legal advice. We regularly support employees with issues that arise during employment, such as contract changes, disciplinary action, or workplace disputes.

If you’re experiencing unfair treatment – such as bullying, discrimination, or being singled out – it’s important to seek advice early. We can help you understand your rights and guide you through internal processes like raising a grievance.

In most cases, your employer cannot change your contract terms without your consent. If changes are imposed without agreement, you may have grounds to challenge them or claim constructive dismissal. We can advise you on your options.

Suspension and garden leave must be handled fairly and in line with your contract. You should continue to receive full pay and benefits. We can review your situation and advise you on whether your employer is acting lawfully.

It is often advisable. Disciplinary meetings can have serious consequences. We can help you prepare, understand the process, and ensure your rights are protected throughout.
