How we can help you
We are highly experienced in bringing the various age discrimination 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.
What is Age Discrimination
Understanding Your Legal Rights
Age discrimination occurs when an individual is treated unfairly because of their age or perceived age. It can affect recruitment, promotion, training opportunities, pay and dismissal.
This type of discrimination may be direct, such as refusing to hire someone because they are considered too young or too old. It can also be indirect, where workplace policies disadvantage a particular age group without clear justification.
In some cases, age related comments or behaviour may amount to harassment. These situations can create a difficult and uncomfortable working environment.
The law does allow limited exceptions where age based treatment can be objectively justified. Understanding when this applies requires careful legal analysis.
Advice for Employees
Challenging Unfair Treatment at Work
If you believe you have been treated unfairly because of your age, it is important to seek advice promptly. Early action can help protect your position and improve the chances of resolving the issue.
We advise employees on identifying discrimination and understanding their legal rights. This includes reviewing workplace decisions, policies and communications.
Our solicitors assist with raising grievances, gathering evidence and pursuing claims where appropriate. We aim to resolve matters through negotiation where possible, but we are fully prepared to represent you in Employment Tribunal proceedings if required.
We provide clear advice and steady support throughout the process.
Support for Employers
Preventing and Managing Age Discrimination
Employers have a legal duty to ensure that age discrimination does not occur in the workplace. We advise businesses on creating fair and inclusive policies that comply with employment law.
Our services include reviewing recruitment practices, promotion criteria and workplace policies to identify potential risks. We also assist with handling complaints and conducting investigations in a fair and consistent manner.
Taking a proactive approach can reduce the risk of claims and support a positive working environment for all staff.
Resolving Age Discrimination Disputes
Practical and Effective Solutions
Disputes involving age discrimination can be complex. They often require a careful assessment of both legal principles and workplace context.
We focus on achieving practical outcomes, whether through negotiation, internal resolution or tribunal proceedings. Each case is handled with attention to detail and a clear strategy.
