UK Employment Law Services and Advice for Employers and Employees

Since 2006, our employment law services have ensured that businesses comply with the constantly changing UK employment laws. Our employment law dispute accountants offer expert advice to both employers and employees on everything from contracts to payroll and pensions. At Apex Accountants, our employment law specialists in the UK help resolve workplace issues and promote a fair, productive environment.

What Are Employment Law Services in the UK?

Employment law defines the rights and responsibilities between employers and employees. It covers areas such as contracts, payroll, redundancy, pensions, discrimination, and workplace disputes. 

Employment services involve professional legal and advisory support that helps both employers and employees understand, apply, and comply with these regulations. These services include drafting and reviewing employment contracts, resolving workplace disputes, managing redundancies, advising on employee rights, handling tribunal claims, and ensuring ongoing compliance with HR and payroll legislation.

At Apex Accountants, our employment law experts offer tailored guidance that protects businesses from legal risks and supports employees seeking fair treatment under UK law.

We help you create or revise staff handbooks and grievance & disciplinary policies and deliver training (e.g., GDPR, workplace rights) to reduce legal risk.

Our experts guide you through fair dismissal procedures, redundancy pay calculations, collective consultation, and business transfer rules (TUPE).

• Assistance during termination & settlement agreements

We draft or negotiate settlement agreements (e.g., redundancy or performance dismissals) to minimise legal exposure.

Our specialists support you in mediation, ACAS conciliation, or defending claims at employment tribunals (unfair dismissal, breach of contract, discrimination).

Employment Law Services for Employees

How Can We Protect Employee Rights?

Our consultancy services in the UK represent workers facing unfair treatment or complex disputes. We help employees understand their rights and secure fair outcomes.

Key Employment Law Services for Employees:

• Unfair dismissal & wrongful dismissal claims

We assess whether dismissal was lawful, guide you through procedural requirements, and represent you in tribunals if needed.

• Claims of discrimination, harassment, or equal pay

We counsel those who have been discriminated against (gender, race, disability, etc.) or who believe their pay is unfair.

• Wage disputes & unpaid salary claims

Our employment dispute accountants help you claim underpaid wages, overtime, unlawful deductions, or missing holiday pay in compliance with the law.

• Breach of contract / constructive dismissal

If your employer changes your contract unfairly or forces you to resign, we examine whether you have a constructive dismissal claim.

• TUPE rights advice (for employees in business transfers)

We ensure your rights are preserved when your employer or role transfers under TUPE rules.

• Review/negotiation of settlement agreements

Before signing a termination or settlement agreement, we review terms to make sure they are fair and legally valid.

• Grievances, complaints & mediation support

We support you in filing grievances, negotiating internally, or going through mediation/ACAS before escalating to a tribunal.

How Does the Employment Law Case Process Work?

• Initial Consultation

We discuss your case, evaluate its merits, and provide advice on likely outcomes and strategies, including whether to avoid a tribunal or proceed with one.

• Early Conciliation (via ACAS)

Before a tribunal, you must notify ACAS to attempt resolution. If settled, a legally binding COT3 is agreed. If not, you get an early conciliation certificate.

• Submitting the Claim (Employment Tribunal)

You file the relevant claim form (e.g., ET1) — usually within 3 months of the event (or longer for redundancy). We help you collate evidence and draft pleadings.

• Preliminary Hearing / Directions

A preliminary stage sets timetables, witness statements, document disclosure, and jurisdictional issues and encourages alternative dispute resolution.

• Mediation/Settlement Attempts

At any stage, mediation or settlement talks may resolve the dispute without a full hearing.

• Tribunal Hearing & Representation

If unresolved, your case goes to a tribunal hearing, where evidence, witness testimony, and legal arguments are presented. We represent you throughout.
