Protecting Your Rights. Supporting Your Future.

Workplace issues can be deeply stressful and often arise when you least expect them. Whether you are starting a new job, negotiating exit terms, or dealing with unfair treatment, having clear legal guidance makes all the difference. At Ammal Solicitors, we provide dependable, straightforward employment law advice to help you understand your rights and protect your position during challenging times.

Our team supports clients from all backgrounds and industries, offering practical solutions designed to minimise stress and achieve the best possible outcome. From early advice to full representation, we are here to stand by you at every stage.

1. Employment Contracts & Workplace Agreements

The foundation of a healthy working relationship lies in a well-structured contract. We review, draft, and advise on all types of employment documents to ensure your rights are protected from day one, including:

  • Employment contracts

  • Director service agreements

  • Consultancy agreements

  • Zero-hour contracts

  • Restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality)

  • Workplace policies and handbooks

We help you understand complex terms, identify risks, and negotiate fairer conditions where needed.

2. Unfair, Wrongful & Constructive Dismissal

Losing your job unfairly can have a serious impact on your finances, confidence, and wellbeing. If you feel your employer dismissed you without proper reason or procedure, you may have a claim for:

  • Unfair dismissal

  • Wrongful dismissal

  • Constructive dismissal

We assess the strength of your claim, explain your legal options clearly, and guide you through negotiations or tribunal proceedings to secure the justice you deserve.

3. Redundancy Advice & Representation

Redundancy must be carried out fairly, following proper consultation and selection procedures. If you believe the process was mishandled, or you were targeted unfairly, we can help. We advise on:

  • Redundancy rights

  • Consultation procedures

  • Enhanced redundancy packages

  • Misuse of redundancy

  • Challenging unfair selection decisions

We also support you in negotiating better terms if redundancy is unavoidable.

4. Workplace Discrimination & Harassment

Everyone has the right to feel safe, respected, and valued at work. We act for individuals facing discrimination or harassment based on:

  • Sex

  • Race

  • Disability

  • Age

  • Religion or belief

  • Sexual orientation

  • Pregnancy or maternity

  • Gender reassignment

We help you understand the strength of your case, collect evidence, raise grievances, and pursue claims where necessary. Our approach is sensitive, strategic, and focused on achieving a positive resolution.

5. Wage, Bonus & Contractual Disputes

Whether it’s unpaid wages, withheld bonuses, breach of contract, or changes to your terms without consent, we help you recover what you’re entitled to. This includes:

  • Unpaid or withheld wages

  • Commission disputes

  • Unpaid overtime

  • Bonus disagreements

  • Holiday pay issues

  • Breach of contract or changes to terms

We aim for swift, effective resolution, minimising disruption to your life and finances.

6. Settlement Agreements

If your employer offers a Settlement Agreement, it’s essential to seek independent legal advice. We provide:

  • Fast, clear advice on the terms

  • Negotiations for improved compensation

  • Review of restrictive covenants

  • Checks on tax implications

  • Guidance on references and future protection

Most employers contribute to the legal costs, and we never charge more than the amount agreed by your employerfor reviewing and advising on the agreement.

7. Post-Employment Restrictions & Non-Compete Clauses

If you’re concerned about what you can or can’t do after leaving your job, we can help clarify:

  • Whether your non-compete clause is enforceable

  • How restrictive covenants affect future employment

  • Risks of breaching confidentiality or IP clauses

  • How to negotiate fairer post-employment restrictions

We help you protect your career while reducing the risk of disputes with your former employer.

8. Representation in Employment Tribunals

When negotiation isn’t enough, we can represent you at all stages of the tribunal process. Our services include:

  • Drafting claim forms

  • Handling evidence bundles

  • Preparing witness statements

  • Representing you at hearings

  • Negotiating settlements during proceedings

We approach every case with care, professionalism, and a focus on achieving justice.
