How We Can Help You?

My wife Amy & I have over 26 years combined experience in assisting clients like you. We can help you avoid the common pitfalls, which most employees’ experience when going through an employment dispute with their employer. You can visit our testimonials page with regards to thousands of people who we have helped over the last 13 years.

The reason for creating this website is because Amy & I have both previously been through the grievance procedures ourselves, and have personally experienced what you are now going though. Amy was subjected to sexual harassment and disability discrimination in the workplace by her employer. I was subjected to a performance improvement plan, suspension and disciplinary investigation.

Backed into a corner and not knowing our employment rights, we sought legal advice. However, we found the solicitors who we consulted either lacking in enthusiasm or tenacity to help us. Having consulted three different law firms to get advice, we were advised our cases were either too complex or had little merit of success. We felt let down and betrayed.

Consequentially, Amy & I spent months in law libraries learning about employment law and our employment rights here in the UK. We successfully settled my case without having to litigate it in the employment tribunal. This was down to sheer cunning on my part to box my former employer into a corner. However, Amy’s employer wouldn’t settle, so I represented Amy in the employment tribunal. After a case management hearing and preliminary hearing in the employment tribunal, it was obvious that we knew our stuff and weren’t going to back down. We managed to settle Amy’s case, despite all three law firms advising us to drop Amy’s case due to the threat of costs orders.

Over the last 13 years, Amy & I have assisted thousands of people like you get justice and victory over their employers germane to their employment disputes. Amy & I work seven days a week to provide our clients with the support and assistance they need. We put our clients first. You can visit our testimonials page. The Human Resources Department’s job is to protect the employer. We are here to protect you!

Most of us who have had a run in with the HR Department will more often than not end up being left stressed, anxious and/or depressed. This is why I refer to the HR Department as the ‘Human Remains Department’ not least as on the balance of probabilities the HR Department will undertake a defective grievance investigation, which will leave you feeling frustrated, angry, and marginalised.

We aim to do all we can to assist our clients in obviating the need to pursue the litigative route via the employment tribunal.

Having personally gone through and experienced what most of you are now suffering, Amy & I know first-hand the stress, anxiety, distress, and anger, which you currently feel. By the time most people contact us they are already suffering from work related stress, anxiety, panic attacks or depression.

We speak from the heart when we say to you that we understand the frustration, anger, sleepless nights, heart palpitations and anxiety, which you feel now, because we have already trodden the path, which you now tread.

Given the fact that most employees’ have no knowledge of employment law or their employment rights UK, by failing to write an articulate letter of grievance, which outlines your employer’s breaches of your statutory rights, you will have played right into your employer’s hands. What many of our clients fail to articulate is that your employer will likely have an agreement with a law firm who will vet your letter of grievance. As such, when you lodge your letter of grievance with your employer, chances are you think you are dealing with your employer’s Human Remains Department. In truth, you are dealing with your employer’s solicitors without ever knowing it.

Writing a letter of grievance is much like trying to bake bread for the first time; chances are you will get the grievance letter wrong first time around. The difference being, you only get one chance to write your letter of grievance!

This is why Amy & I have written a ‘grievance letter template’ to aid employee’s just like you. Truth be told, the grievance letter template gives you an insight into the mechanics of writing a grievance letter to your employer. You do not have to use the grievance letter template verbatim, you can cut and paste in and out what you want. The fact remains the grievance letter template is an ‘aid’ to assist you in writing a better grievance letter to your employer.

Furthermore, the grievance letter template is broken down into three sections (1) work related stress (2) bullying and harassment at work (3) unlawful discrimination at work.

The ‘grievance letter template’ also contains points of law and legal precedents, which may pertain to your particular circumstances. This may aid you in defining what Statute or Regulation your employer may have acted in contravention of.

The ‘grievance letter template aid‘ uses terminology in a way which you can understand. Furthermore, the grievance letter template outlines the steps you want to take before you lodge a grievance letter with your employer to invoke the grievance procedure, and the common mistakes you want to avoid in the grievance procedure.
