Workplace disputes take many forms and can arise at any time and, not only do these situations impact work performance, they are often emotionally damaging for all those involved.
If you have concerns about a work matter and would like to raise a grievance, or you are at risk of redundancy or have been subjected to disciplinary action or offered a settlement agreement, knowing where to turn for support isn’t always straightforward – particularly if it means challenging an employer on your employment rights.
You may not even be an employee, but a job applicant who has suffered discrimination or an ex-employee who has been given an unfavourable reference or threatened with injunctive proceedings for breaching your restrictive covenants

Client Satisfaction
“Tracey represented me in a dispute with my employer and succeeded in obtaining a very satisfactory result against a huge and intimidatingly resourced company. She was friendly, professional and supportive, while showing real steel, tactical savvy and practical excellence. Since that settlement it has been my pleasure to refer numerous people to Tracey when in need of employment law advice, and I’ll continue to do so.”
