“This was a very long and complex sale during a very busy time (stamp duty changes) but Sara and the team always “had our back” and worked to find a solution. We’re grateful to Sara for pushing the chain and other solicitors to keep the process moving, which at times seemed stalled.“

How we can help you

We are highly experienced in bringing the various constructive dismissal cases we take on to a successful conclusion. We aim to provide comprehensive guidance at every step, offering the helping hand to lead you through the process to the outcome you desire.

Our team can offer help and advice on a wide range of constructive dismissal cases, including advising on unfair dismissal risk and dismissal processes.

What is Constructive Dismissal

Understanding Your Legal Rights

Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee resigns because their employer has seriously breached their employment contract. The breach must be significant enough to undermine trust and confidence in the working relationship.

Examples may include sudden changes to job duties, non payment of wages, bullying or harassment, or unreasonable treatment by management. In these situations, the employee may feel forced to resign rather than continue working under intolerable conditions.

However, not every unfair or difficult situation will meet the legal threshold. The circumstances must be carefully assessed to determine whether a valid claim exists.

Advice for Employees

Assessing Whether You Have a Claim

If you are considering resignation due to your employer’s behaviour, it is important to seek advice before taking action. Resigning without a clear legal basis can affect your ability to bring a claim.

We review the full background of your situation and advise on whether the employer’s conduct amounts to a fundamental breach of contract. We also explain the risks and potential outcomes so you can make an informed decision.

Where appropriate, we can support you in raising a formal grievance before resigning. This can strengthen your position and demonstrate that you attempted to resolve the issue internally.

If you do resign, we assist with preparing your claim and representing you in negotiations or Employment Tribunal proceedings.

Support for Employers

Responding to Constructive Dismissal Claims

Constructive dismissal claims can be serious for employers. They often arise from underlying workplace issues that need careful attention.

We advise employers on how to respond to claims effectively and proportionately. This includes reviewing internal processes, assessing contractual obligations and preparing a strong defence where appropriate.

In some cases, early resolution may be the most practical option. In others, defending the claim at tribunal may be necessary. We provide clear guidance throughout.

Employment Tribunal Representation

Strong Advocacy When It Matters

Constructive dismissal cases frequently proceed to Employment Tribunal. These claims require detailed evidence and careful legal argument.

Our solicitors represent both employees and employers in tribunal proceedings. We prepare cases thoroughly, ensuring that every detail is considered and presented clearly.

We always aim to resolve disputes efficiently, but we are fully prepared to advocate strongly when required.
