INTRODUCTION The workplace can be a complex environment. You may have been unfairly dismissed. You may have been made redundant. You may be faced with the prospect of dismissal or have been offered a settlement agreement. Alternatively, you might still be at work but you’re facing an issue around performance or absence or find yourself in the midst of a disciplinary or grievance process. On the other hand, you might find yourself in the unfortunate position of experiencing discrimination or bullying at work. Our team of Employment Law specialists is one of the leading teams in Scotland with the knowledge and capacity to cover all work-related issues. We'll help you understand the options you have and the choices you can make. With insight and guidance you may be able to challenge the position you find yourself in or you may be able to negotiate a better package – coming to us you’ll find an expert, and an understanding and proactive ally.
