Unfair dismissal

Our specialist employment lawyers in Newport and Pontypool can assist you if you have been dismissed and feel that you have been treated in a way that is unfair. The focus is always to find the right solution and remedy for you as quickly as possible to try and help you at what is a stressful time.

When can we help?

Usually you need to have been employed for at least one year if your employment started before the 1st April 2012 or two years if your employment started after 1st April 2012.

• Normally you would need to present a claim at the Employment Tribunal within 3 months minus one day from the date you were either dismissed or resigned.
• You must be employed rather than self employed.

If you feel that your dismissal was unfair or that you have been discriminated against in any way then we can assist in the following areas:-

• Lodging an appeal
• Negotiating an agreed termination package with your employer
• Issuing proceedings in the Employment Tribunal
• Conducting those proceedings including representation at court
