Employment Law Advice

Job Loss

    How do you keep your head when you have lost your job? You may be feeling a sense of panic or shock, mixed with anger and distress. In some circumstances you may even be feeling a tinge of relief. These are normal reactions to sudden job loss whether through redundancy or dismissal.

You probably feel daunted by your situation but you can take back control and minimise the financial and emotional turmoil you are going through. There is help and support to guide you through. We would recommend that you get professional legal advice from solicitors in your region who are expert in Employment Law.

Most people are nervous about contacting solicitors because they fear the costs involved. Many solicitors provide a free initial consultation, face-to-face or more usually on the telephone, to establish whether you have a case worth pursuing. If you have a case, an Employment Law expert will help you and give you indicative costs before proceeding.
 
Many people’s career path undergoes changes along the way, it’s part of what keeps our work interesting and motivates us. Some of the most successful people have attained success simply because they were forced to make changes or adapt to new work situations, some even faced bankruptcy or redundancy.

If you have been made redundant then you can find some key information on your rights on redundancy here. 

More information about wrongful dismissal is available here.
