Family friendly policies

We have experience in dealing with all types of maternity, adoption and paternity discrimination and related cases.

This includes issues including:

  • Failure to carry out proper health and safety risk assessments for pregnant women
  • Restructuring or redundancy during maternity leave
  • Refusal to agree flexible working requests upon return to work
  • Paternity discrimination

If you are experiencing maternity/paternity discrimination issues at work, our experienced lawyers can help you to resolve your problems, either through careful and sensitive negotiations with your employer or more formal litigation.

Do you have Legal Expenses Insurance?

A recent survey estimates that almost 17 million adults in the UK have Legal Expenses Insurance – many of whom are unaware that they have it. This is because it is often included free or added into your:

  • Car insurance
  • House contents insurance
  • Buildings insurance
  • Travel insurance
  • Pet insurance
  • Other insurance type policies

Sometimes it is added irrespective of whether the policy is held in your name, or that of your partner or a family member. Check to see if you have Legal Expenses Insurance.

Insurers may seek to refer your case to their own panel of Solicitors; however in most cases you have a legal right to choose the Solicitors you prefer. If you require assistance on this we are happy to help.
