Our female client worked within the oil and gas industry and discovered that she had been paid a significantly lower salary than her male comparators. We brought equal pay and discrimination claims on the basis that there should be equal pay for equal work done, regardless of sex. The claim settled for a large five figure sum, despite the client finding new employment within a very short period of time following her leaving. Our client’s feedback is as follows: 

 

“Constant and professional support. Atkinson Rose and their team guided me and helped me to endure the process until a satisfactory result was reached.”

Our client was called to appear before a panel following a criminal conviction for assault. We represented her throughout the fitness to practice proceedings and successfully defended her against the ban sought, which, if granted, would have prohibited her from working within the industry again.

​

"A very honourable service that stood up for me and helped me to understand what I previously couldn't. I cannot describe how happy and delighted I am for achieving such a fantastic outcome. I also cannot describe how grateful I am to you, Nik and Lauren taking the trouble to help me. I would highly recommend your services to family and friends."

Our client was employed in South London by a large Governmental agency. He was dismissed on the ground of gross misconduct for a mistake made by another employee who worked under him. During the process he was offered a junior role with a lower salary to remain in the agency which he refused to take. We bought a claim for unfair dismissal and Our client obtained a monetary sum along with an agreed reference. His feedback is below:

 

“You get a quality service and backed up by a very professional team.” 

Our client was employed as a driver for a small company in North London. His employers accused him of stealing money and dismissed him on the ground of gross misconduct. We bought a claim for unfair dismissal and Our client obtained a sum of money, a reference and an order from the tribunal that prevented his former employers from ever pursuing him for the amount they alleged he had stolen. His feedback is below:

​

“Fantastic, excellent and professional service provided throughout the case. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of legal advice.”

Our client was employed by an international restaurant chain as a front of house manager based at Feltham. She was sexually harassed by her line manager and raised a grievance about this behaviour. Her employers failed to take appropriate action and so she resigned. We bought claims for sex discrimination, harassment and, constructive dismissal. She obtained a monetary sum and her feedback is below:

​

“Amit has been amazing and very helpful. I cannot thank him enough for the help and support he has given me. He has been very professional and friendly. Thank you for the amazing service which you have provided.”

Our client was on a work trip abroad where her manager acted in a sexually inappropriate manner with her and another following the consumption of alcohol. Both employees resigned and our firm represented one whilst the other used a different firm. We bought claims for sex harassment and entered into bullish negotiations for a sum without the need for a tribunal hearing. Eventually our client settled for more than 3 times the amount that the other employee settled the claim for despite the circumstances surrounding the resignations being identical.

 

“I received a great service from Atkinson Rose LLP, I would highly recommend Amit as he was very helpful and efficient with great advice in assisting me with my case.”

Our client was employed by a large multi-million pound International property services company based in Central London. It was clear that the employment relationship had come to an end and Our client wanted to leave with reasonable severance pay but was keen to avoid having to issue an ET1 claim form or go to an employment tribunal. We came on record and successfully negotiated a generous settlement agreement which included a reference. Our client left on good terms and avoided the hassle that can sometimes come with bringing a claim. He said of our firm:

​

"I was looking for fast and professional closer on my case which Atkinson Rose provided.”

Our client was employed part for a company in Berkshire. She was made redundant which she believed to be unfair and based on the fact that she could not work full time hours due to looking after her children. We brought claims for unfair dismissal and sex discrimination. She obtained a monetary sum and her feedback is below:

​

“Amit as been very helpful with my case. He explained things to me in a way I could understand. He also replied quickly to my emails and called me with any updates.” 

Our client was employed as a part time recruitment consultant for a medium sized company in Wembley. She was asked to work full time hours which she was unable to work due to childcare commitments and was then eventually dismissed on the ground of redundancy. We bought claims of sex discrimination and unfair dismissal. Our client obtained a monetary sum and a reference for future employers. Her feedback is below:

 

“Excellent service received. Very impressed with the confidence and expertise of Amit. Amit was very helpful and efficient, due to which, great results were achieved. I am very grateful for all the assistance I received and would recommend Amit without hesitation.”

Our client was engaged through an agency to work within a factory. She had been worked there for less than two years, became pregnant and was subsequently dismissed on allegations of poor performance. She initially brought the claim in person before we took over.

 

Objectively, the statistics did show that our client’s performance fell below those of other workers and employees, however, we successfully argued that the statistics of the employer were unreliable after inspection. We brought claims for pregnancy related discrimination and settled the claim without the need for a tribunal hearing for an amount equivalent to nearly a year’s salary. Our client’s feedback is as follows: 

​

“They have character and are good and understanding people. When they take up a case they work and get involved as if they were their own personal situation.  As lawyers, they are a very professional team and they helped and encouraged me enormously.  Thank you very much.”

Our client was referred to us by another solicitor’s firm due to our specialism in this area. He had raised various health and safety concerns to his employers who responded by shouting and swearing at him along with subjecting him to other detriments including having holiday requests refused. Our client eventually resigned, and we brought claims for constructive dismissal and whistleblowing.

 

The case settled for a significant sum without the need for any tribunal hearings, and our client’s feedback is as follows: 

 

“Atkinson and Rose assisted on my employment tribunal case for constructive dismissal. The case was handled in a speedy manner and the outcome was reached in a matter of months of instructing Amit and his team. Strength of the service: the case was moved forward and pushed at a speedy pace. We had a positive experience with the friendly telephone calls from Emma who explained, elaborated, answered our questions, and was also supportive throughout.”

Our client was employed by retail store in Mayfair and was dismissed for drinking a glass of alcohol on the premises to celebrate the birthday of a colleague. Regardless of what the staff handbooks stated, we argued that the practice was a common and accepted one and, in any event, identified many mistakes made during the disciplinary and appeals process to make it procedurally flawed. The matter settled on favourable terms without the need for a final tribunal hearing which included a reference which allowed our client to secure new employment.

 

“Friendly and helpful”
