Frequently Asked Questions.
What does an Employment Solicitor do in Wakefield?
An employment solicitor advises both employees and employers on their legal rights and responsibilities in the workplace. They help clients understand employment law, resolve workplace disputes and, where necessary, represent them in negotiations or Employment Tribunal proceedings.
For employees, an employment solicitor can advise on matters including unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, harassment, whistleblowing, disciplinary and grievance procedures, unpaid wages, breaches of contract and settlement agreements. They can also negotiate directly with an employer to help achieve a fair outcome, whether that involves improved compensation, an agreed reference or changes to the terms of an exit.
For employers, an employment solicitor provides advice on managing employees lawfully and reducing the risk of costly disputes. This may include drafting employment contracts and policies, handling disciplinary and grievance procedures, managing redundancies, advising on performance and capability issues, responding to discrimination allegations and defending Employment Tribunal claims.
At My Law Solicitors, we provide practical, straightforward employment law advice tailored to your circumstances. Whether you need urgent advice following a dismissal, assistance negotiating a settlement agreement or ongoing support with a workplace issue, our specialist employment solicitors can guide you through the process and explain your options in clear, plain English.
Our Wakefield office supports clients across West Yorkshire and throughout England and Wales by telephone, video call and in person, making it easy to access expert employment law advice wherever you are.
When should I contact an employment solicitor?
It is often best to contact an employment solicitor as early as possible. Seeking legal advice at an early stage can help you understand your rights, avoid costly mistakes and, in many cases, resolve a workplace issue before it escalates.
You should consider speaking to an employment solicitor if you have been dismissed, are facing redundancy, have been offered a settlement agreement, are experiencing discrimination or harassment, or have concerns about disciplinary or grievance proceedings. Legal advice can also be invaluable if you believe your employer has breached your contract, failed to pay you correctly, treated you unfairly or subjected you to whistleblowing detriment.
Many employment law claims are subject to strict time limits. For example, most Employment Tribunal claims must be started within three months less one day of the relevant event, although the exact deadline will depend on the circumstances of your case. Delaying legal advice can therefore reduce your options.
Even if you are unsure whether you have a legal claim, obtaining early advice can provide clarity and help you make informed decisions about how to proceed. In some situations, a solicitor may be able to resolve the matter through negotiation, avoiding the need for formal legal proceedings altogether.
At My Law Solicitors, we advise clients at every stage of an employment dispute, from initial concerns through to negotiated settlements and Employment Tribunal claims. Whether you are based in Wakefield, elsewhere in West Yorkshire or anywhere in England and Wales, we offer appointments in person, by telephone and by video call to ensure expert advice is available when you need it.
How much does an employment solicitor cost?
The cost of an employment solicitor will depend on the type of advice you need and the complexity of your matter. Some employment law firms charge by the hour, while others offer fixed-fee services, allowing you to know the cost from the outset.
At My Law Solicitors, we believe in transparent pricing and, wherever possible, offer fixed fees so that our clients have certainty and no unexpected legal bills. We will always explain our fees before any chargeable work is undertaken.
In many cases, obtaining legal advice may cost less than you expect. For example, if you have been offered a Settlement Agreement, it is common for your employer to contribute towards, or even fully cover, the cost of your independent legal advice. This means that, in many cases, you can receive expert advice without having to pay any legal fees personally.
For more complex matters, such as Employment Tribunal claims or ongoing workplace disputes, the cost will depend on the nature of the case and the work involved. We will discuss your circumstances with you and provide clear information about the available funding options and likely costs before you decide how to proceed.
If you would like to discuss your situation, our specialist employment solicitors are happy to provide an initial discussion to understand your circumstances and explain how we can help. Whether you are based in Wakefield, elsewhere in West Yorkshire or anywhere in England and Wales, we provide clear, practical employment law advice with straightforward, transparent pricing.
Can an employment solicitor negotiate with my employer?
Yes. One of the key roles of an employment solicitor is to negotiate with your employer on your behalf to help achieve the best possible outcome.
Having a solicitor act for you can often level the playing field, particularly where your employer has access to HR professionals or legal advisers. An experienced employment solicitor will understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case and can negotiate from an informed legal position.
Negotiations may take place in a wide range of situations, including Settlement Agreements, redundancy exercises, disciplinary and grievance procedures, discrimination claims, unfair dismissal disputes and Employment Tribunal claims. Depending on your circumstances, a solicitor may be able to negotiate a higher financial settlement, an agreed reference, amendments to restrictive covenants, payment of notice or bonus entitlements, an agreed leaving date, or changes to the wording of a Settlement Agreement.
In many cases, successful negotiation can resolve a dispute without the need to commence Employment Tribunal proceedings, saving both time and expense. Even where tribunal proceedings have already started, negotiations can continue at any stage, and many claims are resolved through settlement before reaching a final hearing.
At My Law Solicitors, we regularly negotiate with employers on behalf of employees to help secure fair and practical outcomes. Whether you have been offered a Settlement Agreement or are involved in another workplace dispute, our specialist employment solicitors can advise you on your options and negotiate confidently on your behalf to protect your interests.
Do you act for employees and employers?
Yes. At My Law Solicitors, we advise both employees and employers on a wide range of employment law matters. Acting for both sides gives us valuable insight into how workplace disputes are approached from different perspectives, allowing us to provide practical, commercially focused advice tailored to each client’s circumstances.
For employees, we advise on Settlement Agreements, unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, whistleblowing, disciplinary and grievance procedures, unpaid wages, breaches of contract and Employment Tribunal claims. We work to protect your rights, explain your legal options and help you achieve the best possible outcome, whether through negotiation or formal legal proceedings.
For employers, we provide proactive employment law advice to help businesses manage their workforce confidently and minimise legal risk. Our services include drafting employment contracts and policies, providing HR support, advising on disciplinary and grievance procedures, redundancy processes, performance and capability issues, discrimination claims, Settlement Agreements and defending Employment Tribunal claims.
Although we act for both employees and employers, we never act for both parties in the same matter. If a conflict of interest exists, we will not act, ensuring that every client receives independent, confidential advice.
Whether you are an employee seeking advice about your rights or an employer looking for specialist employment law support, our Wakefield-based employment solicitors provide clear, practical advice to clients across West Yorkshire and throughout England and Wales.
Do I have to visit your Wakefield office?
No. Although our office is based in Wakefield, you do not need to visit us in person to receive expert employment law advice.
We regularly advise clients throughout England and Wales by telephone, video call and email, allowing you to access specialist legal advice wherever you are. Many of our clients choose to deal with their matter remotely, making the process convenient, efficient and flexible around work and other commitments.
