How We Help You

Are you dealing with a work-related issue but are not sure of your rights or how to proceed? Do you need advice on where you stand, what your options are, and how you can find a resolution?

Have you been given a settlement agreement at work?

ELS Solicitors are specialists in employment law

ELS Solicitors is dedicated to helping employees with matters of employment law. When you approach us, we’ll start by chatting to you to get an overview of the issues you are dealing with and the service you may require, free of charge. We can then book you in for an initial consultation. At this stage we’ll establish the advice you are seeking and your objectives. 

We will discuss any grievance or disciplinary procedures with you and explain what is involved, along with the processes necessary to best tackle these matters. We offer empathetic, practical solutions based on sound legal advice.

We can advise you on how strong your case is, what, if any, compensation could be payable, and the best way to go about resolving the matter. You will be much clearer on where you stand and what action you should take.

We work for you and with you to seek a successful outcome

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality professional services at a personal level. Where there is an employment dispute, we seek to produce a successful outcome. And as we get most of our business through referrals, our reputation is key.
