The fact that we also advise companies on dismissal processes means we are well equipped to see all angles of a claim and how to best position you when dealing with your employer, whether in terms of defending your position or negotiating an exit on favourable terms.

We can advise you on whether you are engaged as an employee worker or contractor and what rights are available to you depending on your status.
