Whistleblowing lawyers in London & Thames Valley

We are very familiar with helping employees who believe they have been dismissed or treated unfavourably because of whistleblowing. These situations are not uncommon and can be immensely stressful for the individual bringing the claim.  

We can help you understand the scope of whistleblowing protection and advise on what steps you can take in the event that you are being mistreated by your employer or have been dismissed as a result of blowing the whistle on some malpractice. 

An exceptional balance of expertise and personality.”

Workers’ voluntary overtime included in holiday pay
