If you are dismissed from work it must be done within the confines of employment law. If you feel that your employer had no legal grounds to terminate your contract of employment, you might be able to pursue an unfair dismissal claim. Alternatively, if you feel that you had no choice but to resign, you might be able to pursue a constructive dismissal claim.
Our dedicated team of employment law solicitors are known for their expertise, empathetic nature and personable approach. We offer free, confidential and no obligation initial consultations. Contact us and let us know how we can help.

Unfair dismissal is when you were fired for reasons that are considered by law to be unfair. For example, you joined a trade union or became pregnant. You can learn more about it at Unfair Dismissal: What is it and what to do about it?
Constructive dismissal is when you are forced to resign from your job against your will because of your employer’s actions, or lack of action. For example, you were demoted for no reason or you were being forced to work in an unsafe environment. You can learn more about it at Constructive Dismissal: What is it and what to do about it?
We will keep you up to date throughout the duration of your case. The process differs from case to case, but you can rest assured that your unfair and constructive dismissal solicitor is continually working towards getting you the best resolution as quickly as possible.
