Breach of Employment Contracts Disputes

Disputes arising from an allegation of a breach of employment contract are common. Our employment lawyers can help to play a crucial role in navigating and resolving such employment disputes, providing both employers and employees with expert guidance and legal support.

Once the breach of the employment contract is identified, we can help you agree an appropriate course of action. For employees, this may involve seeking remedies such as compensation for financial losses, or agreeing revised terms for any ongoing relationship. For employers, we can advise on defensive strategies, including terminating the relationship as well as recovery of monies lost or other damage suffered.

In the early stages of the employment dispute our lawyers can help you explore alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as mediation or negotiation, to reach an amicable settlement without resorting to litigation which can often be costly and time-consuming.  Achieving an agreement without resorting to litigation can be particularly beneficial where there is advantage to maintaining an ongoing relationship.

However, we know that in some cases, early resolution is not possible or attempts are unsuccessful. In those cases, our experience of using the formal arena of the employment tribunals or courts means we can assist you. Our employment lawyers’ expertise ensures we can present a compelling case, leveraging our knowledge of relevant legislation, precedents, and case law to support your position.
