Employees - Our Services

At Poole Alcock we understand how devastating it is to be unfairly dismissed or to suffer discrimination at work. Our experienced employment lawyers can guide you through this often complex area of law, and if necessary help you bring a claim against your employer.

We have experience of dealing with a wide range of employment related claims, such as:-

  • Harassment & Discrimination in the workplace;
  • Recovery of unpaid wages;
  • Unfair Dismissal;
  • Breach of Contact;
  • Redundancy.

Compromise Agreements

Has your employer offered to terminate your employment by way of compromise agreement? If so the law requires you to seek independent legal advice on the compromise agreement and the affect of signing it. The cost of this advice will usually be paid by your employer as part of the agreement. At Poole Alcock we can provide independent expert advice, ensuring you can rest assured that you doing the right thing.

Funding Options

Poole Alcock is committed to providing the best possible legal advice at reasonable prices. If you wish to bring a claim against your employer there are essentially three ways of funding the cost of the claim;

  • A contingency fee agreement. We may be prepared to represent you on the understanding that we receive a share of any compensation you receive.
  • Privately paying.
  • Legal costs insurance. Many household insurance policies contain before the event legal costs insurance, which often cover employment matters. Other insurance policies such as your car, credit card, or mortgage insurance may provide legal costs insurance.
